My activity one was about ___ friends and how I revived if and the impact it has made in my school. My other one was my CA one about languages and my perspective of the world around me.
Teacher Recommendation: haven’t read, I guess I will have to next week for s scholarship upload. I asked my APUSH/APWH teacher and he thought I would definitely get in! My other was from my Spanish 2-ap teacher ( sophomore year) I think she wrote a good one about my love of languages and maturity since I took ap Spanish sophomore year. I’d give them both 10s but that’s just because I love the teachers
