Recommendations:
Counselor Rec: No idea what to with this one…
Teacher Rec 1: Local high school counselor… She saw me suffer! She has seen everything I have been through… How hard I tried to get enrolled in high school after coming here. How we went without bread after my step-father’s sudden medical emergency, how I had to start this awful job to support my parents (she come to my Dunkin all the time), she knows my ambitions, my hardships over the years, she saw me distressed after applying for colleges last year, she was contacted by my harvard interviewer and was sure I will get in but I couldn’t send my scores there, she saw me heartbroken after gettong rejected since the disparities were huge with American education system and decide to do APs and work on my ECs and Scores… She has been the only person ever to understand
Teacher Rec 2: Local High school counselor’s junior: same goes for her too
Other Recs: Probably someone from work
Essays: So confused on what to write but might go for my crazy imagination and how i escape my reality with it. Poor writer though

Really passionate about revolutionizing Pakistan’s education system which is in literal ruin - and damn I have suffered through it - through Internet education since I can’t really open physical schools but I can open internet ones
and also about helping people get jobs or launch businesses (pm if you want a free professional CV
)
But I will be 21 when applying for colleges, my schooling is mushy, filled with delayed graduations and gap years because of self schooling and jumping between high schools of three countries but this is what I studied in last year of my schooling, also I self-studied AP Curriculams but don’t think I can mention AP without proper school classes - I got internet service when I was 13 and was never allowed to leave my house alone for both cultural and security bindings so that is all ECs I could do,)
