Dear Raythel Fisher, 

My name is Isabella Carrillo im 17, and i am a graduate from Merced High 

School. I found out about this job through a family member who has worked 
for you guys. I believe i would be a good fit for this job because i have 
experience in the military and family who have been on both sides of the bars 
so i feel i have a better understanding. Pursuing a career like this is something 
im very passionate about because it is also personal and it is my goal to 
change lives. 

I understand that running a prison requires teamwork and communication 

along with consistency and following procedures. With the military training and 
experience i have i feel i could pick this up quick. I’ve been promoted and 
delegated to lead teams in platoons before and i understand the importance 
of following procedures and orders. My aunt who is also a correctional officer 
mentors me and has shown me what to do to prepare for job like this. I also 
have family who were on the other sides of those bars which has given me an 
insight on why it's important to do your job well and the impact you have on 
others. 

This has always been a dream career if mine and i've always seen it an 
an opportunity to serve my country in a different way. Thank You for your time. 

Sincerely, 

Isabella Carrillo
