- Performance/Outcome: It was a really interesting interview. Some questions included: "If your principal were to put you on a student board to make policies for the school, what's one policy you would create?" and "If you were a tour guide and I was a tourist, where would you take me in your city?"

Her rec letters are the most competitive in the school and we built a strong relationship through junior year. I TA for her this year but her rec letter for me was already done by the time I started TAing.
Speech and Debate Coach
I didn't want to ask another teacher because I wanted to provide a different view of myself. In 5 years, I was the only junior who was an officer and after losing the election for President senior year, he created and offered me the role of event captain liaison.
