Well you’re just because you’re not very good at certain subject doesn’t mean you cannot ask that teacher for a recommendation. I asked my counselor, English teacher, and art teacher. Only because I was very close to my counselor and I help out in the office so she was able to write about my leadership/communication skills etc. I wasn’t my best English teacher’s student when it came to getting an A’s. I was a B student in his class my junior year. I didn’t want to ask my Senior English teacher because he procrastinates a lot. My Art teacher’s recommendation was awesome because I was president of art club and won competitions so she was able to write something nice too.

What you can do to make it a bit easy is write down all your high school activities and outside of school things that you do.

It can be helpful for the teacher so they can mention it, especially if you’re a quite student. What I did was just gave every teacher that was going to write a recommendation for me a resume. Made it so much more easier!

Just remember you can ask any teacher/coach/administrator. Make sure you keep a copy. It will come in handy if you need it later.
