Teacher Recommendation help?

<p>Hi, I would love some opinions on which teacher to ask for my teacher recommendation. I have one teacher that I'm close with, but I'm stuck on the second teacher- I did very well in both classes. I'm thinking between asking two teachers:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>11th Grade English Teacher
I didn't participate too much in her class because I'm slightly shy but she always praised my essays (that I had one of the best in the grade), and recently I went to her with a personal problem and we had a heart-to-heart conversation. She knows that I love literature and I'm president of a literary club she sponsors. However, I told her a lot of my problems (including depression) to her and I'm worried that this may affect how she writes about me? I have a small class and she's incredibly close to a bunch of "outgoing" girls in my grade who'll be asking for a rec from her- I'm afraid she'll mark me low on participation compared to them.</p></li>
<li><p>11th Grade APUSH Teacher
I participated a little more in this class. I talked to this teacher a lot afterschool about music since we had similar tastes, and I helped organize outside meetings. Whenever he invited the class to his house, I was always there (sometimes there were only three others). However, I know a few students who are asking him for a rec and I know they are incredibly close to him- I'm afraid this will hurt me because I'm no where as close as they are to him.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Any opinions will be appreciated. Thank you! :)</p>
