Very personal essay about my background
Counselor Recs/Teacher Recs: Outstanding and very very heartwarming; one wrote about visiting my water polo games and talked about leadership skills. He was also in the hospital post open-heart surgery while writing the letter and mentioned that I was the only student he'd do a favor of such magnitude for.</p>
<p>Any information would be helpful! Be brutal; I'd prefer the truth rather than false hope.</p>
