Recommendations- I expect they will be excellent, (my english teacher who might be in love with me hahaha) and I have had the same spanish teacher for 3 years (honors) and she always uses me as an example to the rest of the class as a hard worker. She told my mom in an email that in her 30 years of teaching I was one of her favorite students. She has written recommendations for people who have gotten in to Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, etc…
-My guidance counselor I also expect an excellent essay. She described me as the hardest working students she has ever had.
-My college essay will be about how my experiences in an affluent town next to a notoriously violent and poor town has sparked my interest in government. (Coworkers deported, Witnessed acts of racism,etc.) and I am a very good writer. I am very critical of my own writing and will not send in anything less than excellent
