Letters of Recommendation
  • Math Teacher

    She was my math teacher for two years. I remember I wasn't doing well in her class Sophomore year and she didn't seem to like me as much, but in Junior year I did much better in her class and always made sure to ask questions when needed after class. She came to like me more and she was excited to write a letter for me.

  • APUSH Teacher

    I loved my APUSH teacher. He was such an awesome guy and I genuinely had an amazing time in his class. I learned so much from him and the TA, and I would come to his class every morning to sit down and have conversation with him. He was definitely excited to write my letter of rec.

  • Counselor

    I didn't really know my counselor as much but whenever I met with her or got called into her office to discuss somethings for college. Really nice person who liked me and I didn't get on her bad side.
