<p>Recs:
I didn't read them, but I'm assuming they're pretty good. I got one from my English teacher of 2 years (his should be fabulous) and one from my XC coach/chem teacher (I wasn't really sure about his letter-writing-capabilities, but he's known me for such a long time I thought it would look weird not to ask him).</p>

<p>Essay:
I wrote my essay about spraining my ankle on a mounbounce over the summer. I chose something lighthearted to write about because I thought it reflected my personality and humor while also showing that I'm a decent writer. I wanted to stay away from the "trauma" essay about a death in the family or a mental illness... </p>
