It is with great pleasure that I recommend Martin Zambrano to your Emerging Leaders Counsil Program for the City of Moreno Valley. Martin is one of my students in my Spanish 2 class for the school year 2024-2025.
During this time, Martin has proved to be an excellent student, always going above and beyond of what is expected of him. His dedication to excellence is shown in the work that he has done during this year. Not only he is conscientious in his individual work, but he works well when it comes to being part of a team. He gets along well with everyone he works with and he will be able assists any peer that need his help.
I consider Martin a part of a group of students who are serious about his future. He does not allow others without a clear vision to get in the way of his achievements.
