To Whom It May Concern: 
 
In every educator’s life, there are students who standout and make you feel honored to have known them; Eliseo 
Zapata is one of those students. I first met Eliseo years ago as a student at Foshay Learning Center. I soon realized 
that Eliseo was not only a bright student who has the capacity to achieve all of his goals but was also a caring 
individual who carries himself with a dignity and is always willing to help others. 
Eliseo possesses not only a critical mind but he also represents the ideal combination sought after in a lifelong 
learner. His attitude towards his colleagues is cooperative which makes him a team player in any situation. Eliseo is 
currently in the Academy of Technology where he is learning the basics for computer science which entails coding 
and design. He has also applied his skill set to mentor younger students in computer science.  
Therefore I highly believe that Eliseo would be successful in any position he has applied for; he is hard working, 
compassionate, and determined to reach his goals. 
 
Sincerely,
