Counselor Rec will be very very good
Teacher Recs will be very very good - One from my French Teacher who thinks extremely highly of me( she is also the French Club Moderator) and another from my Honors Latin American History Teacher ( this is a special class with many leadership requirements… sounds weird, but for you guys to understand you must know that I attend a school that was established in 1854 in Cuba with a very rich history and many rather quirky traditions;the honors latin american history class is a special part of my schools
curriculum because it intends to “mold students into leaders so that they can become a prominent part of the latin american business and political community in the future”… sounds like a load of b.s. ,but its a fun class) who I have a pretty good relationship with because of student council and because I’m considering studying history in college.
