“I have coached Payton for the last few years.
Payton is always ready to ride and learn. She has grown into a really good rider and is really becoming a showman as well. She is always ready and willing to help others at the barn and is a pleasure to have her around.”

“It is my great pleasure to recommend Payton Bundy to be considered for admission to your university.
I have known Payton and her family while serving as their pastor for over five years. During that time I have witnessed Payton develop into a young woman who is tenacious, conscientious, confident and dedicated. She completes any assignment asked of her and does so with a spirit of excellence not often seen in someone her age.
Her academic achievements speak volumes about Payton’s dedication to excellence. At Maclay School she has shown academic prowess as well as leadership skills. She sets her personal bar at a high level and consistently excels in both classroom and extracurricular activities.
For the past three years, Payton has served in a leadership role for a ministry at our church. Each year we pack boxes for a ministry called Operation Christmas Child. The position Payton fills involves educating our congregation about the ministry, coordinating and inventorying the items collected, scheduling and implementing a Packing Day, shipping the boxes in a timely fashion and following up to continue the engagement of our congregation. During the time Payton has served in this role, I have watched our participation skyrocket and the number of boxes packed and shipped more than double.
Payton Bundy will be an asset to your university and any academic programs she chooses. She has already proven her leadership abilities and her desire to excel will complement any endeavors in which she is involved. Thus, it is my pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend Payton Bundy to your university.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and teaching Payton Bundy over the course of the past year and it is my privilege to recommend her for consideration in anything she pursues. During this time, Payton has been an outstanding student athlete and mentor to others while at The Maclay School in Tallahassee Florida. She has maintained great success in the classroom, while at the same time, being a leader among her peers on the athletic field/court.
In the classroom, I have had the opportunity to witness Payton become a class leader and rise above everyone else in her achievements. The passion and drive she shows in the classroom are an easy indicator of success outside of school. She constantly strives for perfection and wants to push herself to be the best. Payton has also shown the ability to establish an excellent rapport with variety of people in the Maclay community, including other athletes, coaches, teachers, and her peers. Her work ethic and ability to overcome adverse situations has helped shape her into the successful student athlete that she is. Not only is she an outstanding student athlete, but she has also contributed to the entire school community.
Payton is also extremely responsible, reliable, and selfless when it comes to helping others. This is evident through her dedication to whatever task she has in front of her. She is always willing to go the extra mile and help someone in the weight room or someone gain a better understanding in the classroom. In this, she has shown a unique ability to stay positive throughout difficult times, to work with other students as well as faculty, and to manage her time in order to ensure success in every endeavor. And she does all of this with a smile. This has truly made Payton an asset to anything she becomes a part of.
As you can tell, I think very highly of this young woman and recommend Ms. Bundy without reservations for any endeavor she chooses to pursue. Moreover, I feel that she would be a valuable asset to any company she becomes a part of. Feel free to contact me anytime. Please let me know if you have any further questions about this outstanding young woman.”
