To: West Point Academy
Young
people with vision and purpose give our world clarity, stability, and hope.
Their compassion, sense of respect, and honor inspires trust. Justin Wynne embodies
these virtues and it is with great pleasure I recommend him to West Point
Academy for the 2014-15 school year. He will undoubtedly shape our country’s
future.
Justin
has been a member of nonprofit organization, the Irvine Young Concert Artists (IYCA)
since 2012. A youth orchestra dedicated to music education, Justin was drawn to
my organization because he loves what we do: performing with Hollywood film
composers and famous pop artists in the recording studios. In December 2012,
Justin joined IYCA at Capitol Records for our charity project for the victims
of Hurricane Sandy and the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. The recording
reached millions via YouTube. Justin’s music had reached the world.
As a
music educator, violinist, and music producer, I am drawn to young people with
compassion. These are the unique individuals that can shape our world with
their actions. For me, Justin is such an individual who leads by example. There
is clarity in what he believes in and what he does.
Our
world needs compassionate leaders. Selfless acts of kindness have prevented
wars, healed wounds, and built bridges in our country’s history. Justin’s
compassion to help those less fortunate is what I learned watching him perform
as a recording artist last year at Capitol Records.
A
young man filled with his dreams and aspirations is the ideal West Point
candidate. Justin is eager to help, to protect, and to serve the world. And he
is willing to make the sacrifices to for this dream to become reality. In 2012,
Justin served the world through music.
Away
from music, Justin’s devotion in humanitarian causes to serve his church, the
poor, and the underprivileged is remarkable. There is purpose and meaning to
what he does, and all with an artistic touch. To excel and to work with the
best is what defined Justin’s activities in high school.
Justin
embodies a relentless work ethic, driven by duty and honor. It is his love for
‘country’ that brings him to West Point.
It
is with great pride I recommend Justin Wynne to your attention. Justin’s
achievements and character make him an excellent candidate for West Point.
Your’s
Truly,
