-Ms. Geary

"Marcos, I am very proud of everything that you have accomplished thus far. I am especially proud of everything that you did your senior year. Not only did you prove that college classes are not that difficult, but you also finally played soccer. Not only did you play, but it's safe to say that your had a great season. I was so excited when I watched you block the penalty kick in the final minutes of the CIF championship game. It's safe to say that you played a huge role in Kearny boy's soccer earning their first ever CIF championship banner. Continue with your education, keep in touch, and do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need anything."

- Mr. Sanchez
