You can look online for sample letters, or go to a library or bookstore with references, or a local college that has a placement center with sample resumes and letters of reference for format.
The main thing that students need is initiative and self-motivation/self-direction since in college you have to be disciplined to study and do your work without the teacher or parents forcing you.
The main points I would include is that you are a mature responsible hard worker, "self-motivated/disciplined" you finish your work/assigned tasks successfully and on time, (reliable/diligent and dependable/punctual). You can highlight if you have worked independently without supervision or if you took initiative to train or supervise others, if you work well with groups as a team, or a fast learner where you were promoted quickly etc. If there is any special project or skill you excelled in that relates to your field of interest, that would be good to highlight to show you have natural talent in that area.
A lawyer friend who wrote a letter for me emphasized that I would be an asset to the university and to the field that I was pursuing. But if you are applying for undergraduate/general studies at this point, you could emphasize more general points, if you are personable and a pleasure to work with, a good team player (or natural leader) and would be a great asset to the school/academic community.
