To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter to give my highest recommendation for Karina Garduño. I have known
Karina for about three years. She was in my Spanish for Spanish Speakers classes two years in a
row. Karina has been able to achieve tremendous growth and development. She has been able to
grow in maturity and character as well. Based on her grades (4.0 GPA), attendance, and class
participation, I would rate her academic performance in my class as superior.

Karina has immense strengths. She is a good-natured and well-disciplined person. She has a
positive attitude toward her studies and is always eager to try very hard to improve herself. She is
industrious and eager to learn. She is intuitive and motivated. Karina possesses an immense
passion for learning. She is determined, passionate, hardworking, and sensible.

One of Karina’s long term goals is to attend a four year university, graduate from law school, and
become a judge. I firmly believe Karina possesses the necessary skills and talent to accomplish
all her goals. She always shows great initiative and diligence; she is able to develop intelligent
plans and implement them successfully.

Karina has also contributed to the well-being of her school and community with multiple
community service hours: She has volunteered 175 community service hours to Merced Mercy
Hospital.

I give Karina Garduño my highest recommendation with absolute confidence.

Sincerely,

Gerardo Guardado
World Language Department, Chair
