Marcus Boring Mission Hills HS cell: 760-576-9922 marcus.boring@smusd.org March 26, 2023 To Lake San Marcos Kiwanis Club It is with the most sincere enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Maribel Garcia-Hernandez. I rst met Maribel a a freshman in my Algebra 1 class four years ago. Though she struggled a bit in my class she never let her frustrations get in the way of her positive attitude and caring personality. Then over the next 4 years Maribel has consistently made a point to come by my classroom to visit, bring a birthday gift or drop of one of my favorite treats. Every time she enters my room it’s with a smile and a warm greeting, I have treasured each time. To be frank, the Covid epidemic and changed the atmosphere of my school. Students seem disconnected and a sense of apathy has plagued much of the student population. Yet Maribel seems immune to this disheartening change. She is one of the few students I regularly see that is respectful, gracious and motivated. I can’t think of any other student that is more deserving of a scholarship to continue her education. Through my 21 years of teaching I have been lucky to teach and get to know some amazing students. Of those, I have had a few that hold a special place in my heart and help me keep sight of why I became a teacher. Maribel is de nitely someone that I will continue to remember and will always put a smile on my face long after she has graduated. I am so grateful that I was her teacher 4 years ago and I am proud of the amazing person she has become. Please accept my whole hearted recommendation of Maribel Garcia-Hernandez and know that she will make you as proud as she has made me. Sincerely, Marcus Boring M. Ed.
