To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Emilio for the past three years as a student in my English Language Arts 10A/B, 11A/B, and 12A/B courses. He is one of my brightest and outgoing students. He gets along well with his peers and helps them when they are struggling with the course content. He lives outside the school area and is still willing to wake up earlier in order to get to school early because he takes his education seriously. Emilio is a focused student. Every year, he has maintained strong grades in my class and is always engaged in class dialogues. He is a well-rounded and mature student who thinks critically and actively engages in the world around him. Currently, he is focused on building the skills relevant to pursuing a degree in music therapy. He is extremely passionate about the art form and is taking classes this semester and next semester related to music production. Emilio’s focus and maturity make me confident that he will do well at whatever he commits to pursuing. Any college would be lucky to have a student like him. Please contact me with any questions.

I have had the pleasure of being Mr. Escalante’s teacher for three years and have witnessed his academic and social accomplishments and can attest to his growth in those areas. In class, Mr. Escalante is prepared and contributes insightful ideas which always stimulate meaningful discussion. He is curious and thoughtful. He enjoys being challenged and takes criticism well using such discussions to improve his work. Mr. Escalante is very adept at prioritizing and juggling a full schedule. In addition to his academic accomplishments, he is involved with coding, JAVA Script Code Avengers, and has developed several apps. Mr. Escalante is serious about his studies and career path, but also has a warm sense of humor and is easily social. He is the type of student every teacher enjoys having in class because he works well in any group, allowing others to find a place to join in the discussion, yet can also focus well independently and has that natural initiative to move beyond classroom boundaries. I know he will take every opportunity in life to personally participate and engage others in progressive, meaningful activities. Therefore, he would be a wonderful asset to any institution or community. Thank you, Robyn Block Social Studies Tech. Academy Foshay Learning Center |
