<p>Essays and Recommendations: I worked for weeks on my essays because I wanted them to be perfect representations of my true self. I feel really good about them - if anyone wants to read them I'd love to get some feedback.
My counselor loves me, but she is not a very good writer and her written evaluation was probably a little bland. My English teacher, on the other hand, wrote an evaluation that nearly brought me to tears. I can't believe what she wrote about me - it was amazing. I am so thankful to have had her as a teacher and mentor throughout my school years. </p>
<p>Anywho - just give me your thoughts. Thanks guys!</p>
