You are a good example of how commitment and hard work pay off and as a New Zealander I am happy to have your skills in our country.
It is my pleasure to write about my dear friend Jay-D who is exceptionally intelligent and knowledgeable. Jay-D has a very impressive personality and carries a finesse. Besides that, he is jovial with a fantastic ability to connect with everyone so I believe that he can capture the attention of his audience/students without any effort. His humour has a lot of substance to it. He is an innately approachable debonair too.
Jay-D thanks for being my friend.
