Teacher Recs: Planning on asking my History teacher and TA teacher whom I’ve had for 2 previous years. Both will be stellar and very good.

Additional info: My school is a small charter school and we do not have AP Classes. However, we have the option to take 1 AP class a year at the school next to ours, which I decided to do. In place of our AP Classes, we take college classes at our city’s community college. Therefore, I have taken: Sociology, Sociology Minority Groups, Statistics, Dynamics of Group Discussion, and will be taking English this Fall. It’s a little strange, but each year my school has a senior class of around 25, and at least 7 seniors get into UCB! My sister also currently goes to UCB atm.
