To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter to give my recommendation for Sebastián Ramírez. I have known
Sebastián for about two years. He was in my Spanish for Spanish Speakers class. Sebastián has
been able to achieve tremendous growth and development. He has grown in maturity and
character as well.

Sebastián has immense strengths. He has a positive attitude toward his studies and always tries
very hard to improve himself. Sebastián is caring, sympathetic and resilient.

Sebastián has been able to maintain a 3.92 GPA in high school. He collaborates well with his
classmates and is able to solve problems successfully. He wants to attend UC, Merced and major
in business management. One of his long term goals is to help his community grow by making
the city more safe. Sebastián is the first in his family to attend college and I am sure he will
successfully achieve all his plans and objectives.

I give Sebastián Ramírez my highest recommendation with absolute confidence.

Sincerely,

Gerardo Guardado 
World Language Department, Chair
