To Whom It May Concern:

It is of great pleasure to write this letter recommending Belen Gomez in her desire to pursue
higher education. I have known Belen since August 2019 and was impressed with her dedication
and passion towards her academics and extracurricular activities. Belen has demonstrated great
work ethic which was shown during distance learning and a dedicated academic mentor for my
Integrated Math 3.

Belen is an individual that has the drive to work hard in order to have a legendary and successful
future after high school. I have been able to see her drive during the academic year as she was
persistent to help in any way she could through distance learning. Belen managed to obtain a
3.52 GPA during her time in high school as she balanced her activities and academics. Moreover,
Belen demonstrates characteristics that include being dedicated, responsible, reliable, driven,
compassionate, and respectful.

Without a doubt, Belen is an independent hard working young lady that has the skills and the
perseverance to be successful in pursuing anything she desires. In addition, Belen is a great asset
to anyone and I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue. Thank you.

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