Hey all!
i am currently a junior and i have already secured one letter of rec. However i need one more. The problem is that i am very shy, and none of my teachers really know personally beyond as a student. I am super nervous, and lost as to what to do or who to ask. Thoughts?
thanks
Many teachers make you fill out a questionnaire that will help them write the recommendation. I would ask a teacher that you admired and/or did well in their class. Food for thought: There are some teachers that everyone loves and they get a lot of requests. The teacher with less paperwork will have more time to devote to YOUR recommendation.
If they only can comment on you as a student then pick a teacher where you excelled in class. Nothing else you can really do at this point.
I have written tons of letters for shy kids!!!
Write up a resume of sorts, and choose a teacher whose class you really enjoyed, one in which you learned a lot.
Stop by extra help one afternoon, and ask. He or she will be happy to do it, I’m sure.
