Essay Topics
The main gist was on my addiction to social media, and how I was the fakest person I knew. But eventually, I learned how to be real. And I'm still learning.
- Ivy League School
- Performance/Outcome: I enjoyed it. We talked about our love for Marvel, our desire to have philosophical conversations at 3:00 am, and Turkey (the country, not the food).
Counselor
We had talked a few times, but nothing substantial to our relationship.
English Teacher
I met this guy in tutoring freshman year. We knew each other, but just barely. Had him as a teacher for sophomore and junior year. We've had deep conversations, he's put up with my antics, and now he's my advisor for my Independent Study. He's like the cool old uncle.
APUSH Teacher
I met this guy in freshman year and he disliked me. I had gone to him for tutoring for AP World and he called me out. He remembered that when I entered his class junior year for APUSH. Our relationship grew, and now we respect each other. I grew to love history even more under him. He asked to write my LOR.
