What do you think is your biggest strength and who can speak to it? I just had a teacher ask me if she could write my son’s recommendation. She told me she has never advocated for a student before, but he has shown more grit and determination than any student she’s ever had. As I think this is a huge strength of his, I think she will be a great choice despite the fact that he’s not doing so well academically in her class. Don’t be afraid to approach someone that might not have seen you at your best, but has seen you face a challenge and overcome it. Probably a more meaningful and rememberable character reference than the typical 'great student" letter.
