Hi im junior in high school this year and am starting to think about who i should ask to write my letters of recommendation. One teacher i thought about asking was my english II honors teacher from sophomore year as i feel like she knows me pretty well and she is now the vice principal of the school. However, i had an incident last year where she caught me for plagiarizing part of a poetry project we had and of course gave me a 0 on it. She knows im a good student and that i very very much deeply regret what i did and that i would never do it again. Should i still ask her to write one of my letters anyways or should i consider someone else instead?? Thank you!
Why not make an appointment and ask her if she’s comfortable writing you a positive letter? I’m sure she’ll be honest-- either she’ll say yes or advise you to ask someone else.
