To Whom It May Concern:

It is of great honor to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Brees Rasmussen in her desire
to pursue higher achievements after high school. I have known Brees since August 2019 and was
impressed in her dedication to continuously stay focused in my Integrated Math 3 class. It was a
pleasure having Brees in my class and seeing the drive she had to always do her best during the year.

Brees is a hard-working individual that has the passion to succeed in her studies as she maintained
herself focused in all her academics and extracurricular activities. Moreover, Brees demonstrated good
work ethic, she is responsible, respectful, and dependable. Furthermore, it was amazing to see Brees do
well in my class and her willingness to help others with math problems whenever they needed help.
Additionally, Brees was able to stay very active during her four years of high school where she
participated in a variety of activities and clubs. Some of those ventures were being part of the CSF,
FFA, and earning 75 hours of community service at her local zoo. Among those activities, Brees
integrated herself in the water polo and swim team during her first two years of high school. On
another note, Brees managed to find employment since December of 2020 where she is learning great
working skills and responsibilities.

Lastly, it has been a delight in getting to know the wonderful attributes that Brees possesses and her
commitment for a brighter future. Brees plans to attend Merced Junior College for the Fall of 2021
where she will be pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science to pursue a nursing career. In closing, Brees will be
a first-generation college student and is ready to embrace any challenge that comes towards her which
I would recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.
