To Whom It May Concern;

It is of great honor to write this letter recommending Lizbeth Gutierrez in her desire to pursue
higher education. I have known Lizbeth since August of 2018 and I have been very impressed in
the persistence she has had and being able to stay focused in all aspects of her academics.
Throughout the years, Lizbeth was able to earn a 3.71 GPA among all her academic classes.

Lizbeth is a determined student that demonstrates her passion to work hard in all that she does to
achieve all her personal and academic goals. I have been able to see Lizbeth’s consistency
throughout the 2 years I had her as a math student and always displayed a great amount of effort
to understand the material. Additionally, Lizbeth had great rapport with her peers and myself
which demonstrated her ability to feel comfortable to ask for assistance. Moreover, Lizbeth is
trustworthy, ambitious, respectful, genuine, and responsible in everything she does. It was
always a pleasure to see her in class and admire the growth she obtained towards her
mathematics skills. On another note, Lizbeth maintained herself busy by being part of the
schools’ band for all four years of high school which helped her stay focused, knowledgeable,
and organized in different aspects of her life. During her spare time, Lizbeth does her best to
volunteer at church, festivals, and catechism.

In closing, Lizbeth plans to attend a university in CA to pursue her academic goal of earning a
degree in nursing, which I am very confident that she will succeed tremendously. Furthermore, I
would highly recommend Lizbeth for any endeavor she chooses to pursue in her life.

If you have any questions please do email me at jgonzalezmontanez@muhsd.org.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Joel Gonzalez
