Essays and recs: One rec is from the adviser of the newspaper, he’s like a father figure to me. The other is from my APUSH teacher, who saw me go from a D to an A in his class and has told me how much he saw me grow as a student. I feel good about my essay as well.
Sorry if I didn’t include enough info, this is my first time doing one of these.
