To Whom It May Concern

Re: Letter of Recommendation for

Nathan Burge is enrolled in the ROP Marketing Foundations Community Classroom program from
2013-2014 school year at Merced High School.

I have enjoyed getting to know Nathan in my Marketing Foundations Community Classroom class.
Nathan is a friendly, cooperative and respectful young man who is concerned about his schoolwork
and future.

Nathan is not afraid to speak for himself and is willing to contribute productive ideas in class
discussions. He is a studious young man who gets right to work on assignments, stays focused and is
willing to help others when needed. I am confident that Nathans commitment to self-improvement and
lifelong learning will allow him to meet his lifes goals.

This school year Nathan has received on-the-job training at Applebees for ROP. He has been training
as a Host. He was willing to meet their dress code and perform every task assigned to him. Some of
his responsibilities included: greet customers in a positive, cheerful manner, wrap silverware, assist
customers to their tables, and perform general maintenance.

It is without reservation that I recommend Daniel Jones. If I can provide any additional information,
please contact me at 209-617-4628. My email address is: lescobedo@muhsd.org.

Sincerely,

Lisa Escobedo
