To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to highly recommend Careli Chavez Gallego for admission to Merced College. I have known Careli for
two years during her time at our school, and I am consistently impressed by her dedication to her academic pursuits and
involvement in extracurricular activities.

During my interactions with Careli, I have found her to be not only friendly and outgoing but also exceptionally skilled
in advocating for herself. This self-advocacy is a crucial trait that has allowed Careli to excel both academically and
socially. She have demonstrated the ability to communicate effectively with peers and teachers alike, showcasing strong
interpersonal skills that are essential for success in high school and beyond.

One of Careli's notable strengths is her bilingualism. Receiving her Seal of Biliteracy demonstrating multiple languages
is a valuable asset that sets Careli apart from her peers. Her ability to effectively communicate in more than one
language demonstrates her adaptability and cultural competence, both of which are increasingly important in our
globalized society.

In terms of academic performance, she consistently strives for excellence. Her work is marked by a high level of
precision, critical thinking, and creativity. I have witnessed Careli's dedication to mastering challenging material and her
willingness to go above and beyond the requirements of assignments.

In conclusion, I have no doubt that Careli would be a valuable addition to Merced College. Her combination of
academic prowess, interpersonal skills, and extracurricular involvement makes them a well-rounded and promising
candidate. I wholeheartedly endorse Student Name's application and believe they have the potential to thrive in your
academic environment.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Gossman
Associate Principal, Teaching and Learning
