Question about teacher recs

Applying to College
1

<p>So, here's the thing. I'm a pretty quiet student in class and I don't stand out in any way. However, I'm an average good student who works hard and gets good grades. There are a few teachers this year whom I am particularly close with, not because I participate during class. I actually never do, I prefer listening more than talking in class because I learn better that way. I've always been worried that hardly ever raising my hand in class will earn me bad teacher recommendations.
Sometimes out of class, I have really deep discussions with them for a really long time and therefore they know me very deeply on a personal level. They know and understand that I'm the type of student who's quiet in class but still intellectual and thinks a lot, and they know a lot about how I feel about certain things. </p>

<p>These teachers have volunteered, without me asking, to write me any teacher recommendations that I might need next year when I apply to colleges.</p>

<p>Being the type of student I am (quiet in class) and considering the relationship I have with these teachers as a person rather than a student, do you think I could still end up with glowing teacher recommendations?</p>

<p>—You just answered your own question ; ) If they volunteered it’s because they WANT to write glowing recs for you! You’re in the best place you could possibly be.
You also sound like someone I would like in real life. Not to be creepy or anything. But you kind of sound like me.</p>

<p>Yes, definitely! I mean, you and your teachers know each other personally, few students have that association with their teachers. Recommendations are not all about class participation, there’s a lot more to them than that. They OFFERED to write you recs. Seriously, dont worry.</p>

<p>Thank you! Just to get a few more opinions–bump.</p>
