Letters of Recommendation
Counsellor
Knew me pretty well but I wasn't the sincerest student and I messed up a few times throughout the process. Nevertheless, I believe she wrote a pretty good LoR.
Economics Teacher
One of her favorite students and always did pretty well in her class. She helped me take initiatives outside the class. Developed a really good relationship with her.
Business Teacher
One of the brightest performers in her class but only knew her for a year. Frequently absent from her class because the subject came relatively easily to me.
