<p>Recommendations:
1) high school councelor (who once told me I have one of the hardest schedules of all his hundreds of students, and names me as one of his most responsible students)
2) soph year math teacher, who is also student gov advisor (many times mention how dedicated I am to work, this one will be a glowing rec)
3) english teacher: B in class, but loves me because im respectful and try hard (at least thats what she thinks hehh), this woman is THE smartest woman i know.
4) my art teacher outside of school: professor at the most respected art institute in china, absolutely adores me =) haha
5) my employer at the computer store: i dont know about this one. if i ask him to write me one he'll just tell me to write to and he'll sign it, but I think 5 might be overkill</p>
