Recs: I’m not sure what my counselor rec is going to be like because this is her first year…
Bio Teacher: Loves me so should be alright
English teacher: Not many people like her prickly personality so I’m pretty much the only person who asked her for one. Hopefully she can spend a little extra time on it
Additional Rec: From the director of the Organization I volunteer at with disabled adults. Would that be a good additional recommendation?

Thanks
