Essay Topics

Common App Essay

My personal statement was about growing up somewhat detached from my racial and ethnic identities, reconnecting with them, and how that impacted me.

Letters of Recommendation
  • AP Comp Teacher

    Kinda close, in his class again this year. Had a really good experience with him overall and I think he enjoyed having me as a student. He's also a good writer.

  • AP Psych Teacher

    She was a cool teacher. I made sure to turn in all my work, do it well, and reschedule tests/quizzes when I'd miss class or make up assignments I might've missed. I also think she enjoyed having me as a student.
