<p>My MOTHER told me not to sign the waiver...I had no idea what to do so I just listened to mommy. Then my teacher took me aside and told me I should sign it because 'admissions officers will look at this and think you are so confident and chummy with me that you have no worries, they won't take it as seriously.'
I felt dumb...then I signed it. Then she said that she had nothing but good things to say about me, and that she only wanted me to look good for admissions. She let me read the rec letter before putting it into the envelope and sealing it and handing it back to me to send to the school.</p>
