<p>Rec's
My rec's are really well written, but they are both english teachers. One highlighted my maturity and intellectualism and talked about various projects I did in her class. </p>
<p>Essay
I feel that it was very well written. I talked about my two trips to Ghana and the poverty that I experienced first hand. I tied that into how having a shared culture can make even the poor person proud of where they are from and how I went to Governor's school because I wanted to learn about this phenomenon.</p>
<p>Disciplinary Action
In my junior I was caught cheating on a Pre-Calculus final exam. I wrote an additional essay explaining why I did it and how my GPA dropped from a 3.94 to a 3.76 because of the failing grade I recieved in Pre Calculus. I also talked about how I was class president and president of key club but it was taken away from me due to my lapse of judgement. In my guidance counselors recommendation she talks about the incident and says that I have recovered and become a better student.</p>
