To whom it may concern:

It has been my pleasure to observe Kyle Cueto as a participant in ACE for the past two years, as
an Advanced Placement Physics student, and as a member of the Engineering Academy at
Vallejo High School for three years.
Kyle has a working knowledge of the software programs Revit, Inventor, and SketchUp which
we use to create the drawings of our competition project. He has been at the core of the
Software Group and often takes part in building the model with that project group. Kyle is a
team player and displays courtesy and respect for all members of the ACE Program @ VHS.
As a member of the Engineering Academy, Kyles strength is in the laboratory experiments and
analyzing the results. Perhaps this interest and passion of his is what led him to join the
Robotics After-School Program. He is a friendly young man and his ability to get along with
everyone is a real asset to our ACE Program @ VHS.
On-site with the ACE Field Trips to Construction Projects, Kyle has always demonstrated
responsible behavior and interacted positively with site Project Managers, Construction
Workers, and Engineers who were leading the field trip. He represents himself, his school, and
ACE very positively.

We have had the Napa Valley College Representatives come to present the Architecture,
Construction, and Engineering options to our students. Kyle has always expressed a keen
interest in becoming an Engineer. I believe that he intends to enroll at NVC in the preEngineering Program in the Fall of 2015.
Please give Kyle a scholarship to continue his studies at Napa Valley College next year. He
needs this financial assistance in order to go to college and pursue his dream of becoming an
Engineer. I am certain that in the future, he will return your investment in him by coming back
to work with future generations of high school students.
Sincerely,
