To Whom It May Concern:

It is of great pleasure to write this letter recommending ​Callie Neal​ in her desire to pursue higher
education. I had the privilege in having Miss. Neal as one of my first math students in my
Integrated Math 3 class in my first year of teaching in the Fall of 2015. I was highly impressed in
her dedication and drive in staying focused in her studies and extracurricular activities. Callie
was a very successful math student in my Integrated Math 3 class as she was able to maintain an
A throughout the whole school year. She became one of my right hand student in class as she
was able to help many of her peers understand challenging concepts.

Furthemore, Callie is highly determined student that has the drive to work hard in order to have a
successful future ahead. I have been able to see her dedication in staying focused in school and
being able to seek for help whenever she needs it. Callie is a serious-minded and intelligent
young lady that is passionate to everything she sets her mind too. Moreover, Callie is optimistic,
dedicated, passionate, and a humble young lady. On the other hand, Callie had the ability to be
enrolled in a variety of AP courses, different clubs, and be part of the girls tennis team at El
Capitan High School. Aside from school activities, Callie is a delightful and passionate young
lady that has a great future ahead of her.

Lastly, Callie is an exceptional intelligent young lady and a great asset; I highly recommend her
for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.

Sincerely,

Joel Gonzalez
