Happy Birthday! Remember as you head into the next year that a cool, dry wit is so in now, will be from here on out. It's the eternal new black."
"
You're a regular post-rapture false alarm Flannery O'Connor!"
"
I appreciate your participation. It is thorough and thought provoking. It provides feedback to other students and often gives a new perspective on issues."
Chris Carmouche, Executive Director, GrassTops USA
"Ms. Fonseca has worked with us for approximately 30 months and serves as the editor of our Daily Action Alert (a brief digest of news and current events that is delivered to our members 5 days a week via e-mail).
I have only praise for Ms. Fonseca. She is engaged, intelligent, trustworthy, agreeable and eager to accommodate any job-related request. Moreover, she is self-directed, requiring little direct supervision, and she understands the vital importance of meeting deadlines. Ms. Fonseca would be a valuable asset to any organization."
"You sure have a way of making me look good!"
Nenah E. Frye, President, Sweet Briar College
"These days there is much talk about student 'apathy' and absence of 'conscience' or awareness to important social issues. Those who talk in this manner clearly are unaware of the contributions which you make to the children of Amherst. I write to applaud your efforts. I know that your participation makes a significant difference in the quality of the future."
Alix Ingber, Professor of Spanish, Sweet Briar College
"Vida has a solid command of Spanish and a lively, creative mind that enables her to appreciate literature and the arts more fully than most other students. Her work in my class was thorough, thoughtful and original. Vida distinguished herself from others. She is joyful, loving and relaxed, never seeming under pressure despite the tremendous responsibilities of being a student, and the mother of a five-year-old child and participation in a number of extracurricular activities. I am convinced that Vida will be successful in whatever career she chooses. She is intelligent, sensitive, responsible and determined to do her best. Vida has my highest recommendation."
"I have known Ms. Vida Henry for [twenty-five] years. She is a very intelligent, honest and responsible individual. I highly recommend Ms. Henry. "
Ray Piatoly , Education Director, Orleans Parish Prison School- About Face Program
"This is written to recommend Ms. V.ida L. Fonseca She has worked in the Drug Treatment Phase of the Target Cities' About Face Program at the Community Correctional Center of Orleans Parish Prison as a teacher of Adult Basic Education, Literacy, English as a Second Language, and GED/College Board Test Preparation. In addition, she has helped with the planning and writing of several grants for the Sheriff's Department and publishes the prison paper. [Ms. Fonseca] has proven herself to be a caring and conscientious teacher, very knowledgeable in a wide variety of areas and to be a 'whiz' with computers."
Kim Toups, English Department Chair, Archbishop Chapelle High School
"I find Vida Fonseca a capable individual. Vida has demonstrated an excellent grasp of the material she has been asked to teach. She is intelligent and able. Beyond the mastery of the subject matter, Vida has demonstrated that she enjoys her work. She works hard to prepare her lessons. She remains on task, and she is innovative in her approach to teaching."
"I observed Ms. Fonseca teach on three separate occasions. Each lesson showed growth over the previous one. Ms. Fonseca has excellent knowledge of the subject matter, and asks stimulating and thought-provoking questions. She has the potential of becoming an effective teacher."
"Remember in your advocate training when the trainers tell CASA's to be creative? When the new advocates are told to think for themselves, not just follow what everyone else is recommending? When judges ask the CASA's to come up with original ideas and plans? Vida Fonseca is exactly that kind of 'take charge' advocate, going above and beyond ordinary action to get results."
