To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter to give my highest possible recommendation for Sharis Martínez. I have
known Sharis for about three years. She was in my Spanish for Spanish Speakers I class two
years ago. Sharis has been able to achieve tremendous growth and development. She has been
able to grow in maturity and character as well. In the years I have known Sharis, it has been my
privilege to watch her grow in all academic areas. Based on her grades, attendance and class
participation, I would rate her academic performance in my class as superior.

Sharis has immense strengths. She is a good-natured and well-disciplined person. She has a
positive attitude toward her studies and always tries very hard to improve herself. She is
industrious and eager to learn. She is intuitive and motivated. Sharis possesses an immense
passion for learning. She is ambitious and persistent.

Sharis always shows great initiative and diligence; she is able to develop intelligent plans and
implement them successfully.

I give Sharis Martínez my highest recommendation with absolute confidence.

Sincerely,

Gerardo Guardado 
World Language Department, Chair
