To Whom It May Concern:

I am thrilled to write this letter of recommendation for Jose Luis Palafox Martinez, a remarkable
student who I have had the privilege of working with as his school counselor. Jose Luis has
consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to his education and a strong desire to
pursue a career in Criminal Justice.

Jose Luis has demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain a consistent level of academic
achievement throughout his high school career. Despite being the first in his family to pursue
higher education, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to excel in his studies, showing
an unwavering determination to succeed. He has been a diligent and responsible student,
consistently passing all his classes and staying on track for graduation. His strong work ethic and
adaptability have played a significant role in his academic success.

As a first-generation college student, Jose Luis understands the value of the opportunity he has
been given and the impact his success will have on his family and community. He is not only an
inspiration to his peers but also an excellent role model for younger students who come from
similar backgrounds. His perseverance and resilience are qualities that will undoubtedly serve
him well in his college career and beyond.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Jose Luis Palafox Martinez. His unwavering

commitment to his education and future career, coupled with his resilience and determination,
make him an ideal candidate for higher education. I am confident that he will not only meet but
exceed the expectations of any institution that is fortunate enough to have him as a student.

Sincerely,

Eduardo Ruiz
