<p>Recommendations: Excellent. Well at least I think so, my counselor likes me & knows me pretty well and my teacher definitely knows me very well and is a fantastic writer.</p>
<p>Essays: I would say very well-written, but I'm not sure my topic for SFS was great...</p>
<p>Hook: Travel. My dad is a pilot; I've been to LOTS of different countries, sometimes alone or with a friend. Wrote my personal essay about it.</p>
