Getting close with your counselor

<p>I'm a sophomore in high school. My guidance counselor knows me, she says hi to me in the hallways, but I never really visit her office very often. The only time I went was to ask her about my summer.
However, I know I need to get closer with her asap because she would be writing my recommendations. I always feel like I don't need to go to her office because I could do everything by myself, but getting close with her is important.
Is there any advice that I can get closer with her?</p>
