<p>Essays: I am anticipating that they will be very strong, either about how my father escaped communism and risked his life to come here from Romania (amazing story), and how it has impacted me. Or I might just write about my Romanian background and how it has made me unique and who I am now. Possibly even about how I knew I loved business and such since third grade, when I had my own origami business haha, and how I knew since then that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and how it impacted me. </p>

<p>Rec's: Very strong, one from my junior year pre-cal teacher who loved me, other from my Spanish teacher who I had sophomore year and who I will have again Senior year.</p>
