Sawyer exceeds many expectations
and comes brimming with knowledge about things that have yet to be taught. Even when I ask a “fun fact” type question that won’t be assessed, he is always willing to take an educated guess (and is often right!). I’m really impressed by the detail he puts into everything he does and by his ability to adapt feedback into progress. Keep up the stellar work, Sawyer!
