<p>for my rec, my teacher asked me to write a paragraph on how i would like him to present me to the colleges. usually, what would colleges most want to see in a recommendation?</p>
<p>They want to see what kind of niche you'll fit into in their glorious community</p>
<p>bump, bump.</p>
<p>They want to see that you're hard working, that you value learning for learning's sake, that you're self motivated, that you set high standards for yourself. They want to know that you're ethical (no cheating, etc). They want to know if you're helpful to classmates and teachers. They want your teacher's opinion of what type of student you are, and what type of person you are.</p>
