To Whom it May Concern,

It is with utmost pleasure that I am writing this letter of recommendation for Anita Ornelas, a
“​Teaching and devoted student and admirable individual. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Anita during
Reaching all her senior year here at Buhach Colony High School as a mentor in my Academic Support class
Students” where her compassion, drive, and persistence are demonstrated daily. Her ability to collaborate in
class and engage her peers in participation are unparalleled, while her genuine desire to help
others makes her a step above the rest.
Principal
Lance Morrow Anita is not only at the top of her class, with a total weighted 3.33 g.p.a. but is fluent in English
and Spanish. On top of her academics, Anita has been involved in clubs and community service
where her leadership, time management, and organizational skills have allowed her to excel.
Associate While some are destined to develop leadership skills, Anita possesses the intrinsic qualities of a
Principals born leader and she’s able to accomplish this without an air of arrogance or superiority toward her
Marcus Knott peers.

Psychologist risk” of not graduating in obtaining the skills needed to be successful and where her ability to lead

community through volunteering (Mercy Hospital and Church fundraisers), always thinking of how
she can better not only herself, but her community. To top all this off, she has received accolades

Resource contributions will help guide her successfully toward her goal of working with children or becoming
Officer a nurse.

supports others in and out of the classroom. She is a pleasure to have in class, and her positive
