<p>Volunteer-
Really just mediocre. Some library work, some National Park Service work. Work in the clubs mentioned above. Web-based nonprof org volunteering for several years.</p>
<p>I've been an employee of the same library since the summer before senior year.</p>
<p>Recs-
One from 11th grade English teacher that highlights my... "tolerance."
One from 9th and 11th grade math teacher (Algebra II, Calculus) that will probably be average, hopefully highlighting academic achievements.
One from supervisor from the nonprof org, should be good.</p>
<p>I expect I might have an odd personal statement. Good or bad?</p>
<p>Aaand that's all that I can remember at the moment.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
