To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mr. Ryan Celestino. I am a counselor at El Capitan
High School and have known Mr. Celestino for the past 3 years. He is very motivated and
determined when it comes to his academics. Seeing him grow as a student as well as a leader has
been admirable.

As a student Ryan is ambitious, confident and trustworthy. He is a hardworking student and is

highly interested in his academics and has always pushed himself to do well. Academics have
always been his number one priority. He has a grade point average higher than a 4.0. He is not
afraid to ask questions and seek answers.

Ryan would like to pursue a major in Political Science, where after he will attend law school. His
biggest dream is to make a positive impact in his community, by representing people in court who
have been mistakenly accused. His involvement in his many extra curricular activities, proves his
loyalty and dedication. He has been an academic mentor, active member in CSF as well as
participating in the award winning El Capitan Color Guard and Winter Guard, all throughout high
school.

Ryan is the type of student that will reach every goal that he sets for himself and I feel certain that
you will be just as impressed with him as I am. I strongly encourage you to consider him. If you
have any further inquiries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Eduardo Ruiz
