<p>My recommendation to get into the Governor’s Scholar Program is horrible! It was a questionairre type of recommendation, where a question is asked and the teacher comments on the student. The sample recommendation letters consist of like a paragraph per question but my teacher only wrote ONE SENTENCE on a few questions!!! I don’t know what to do, I really wanted to be in this program! I have another recommendation letter from another teacher which will be better, but I have to send in two recommendations! The application is due on Monday! What should I do!!! HELP MEEEE!!!</p>

<p>I had three teachers leave my high school… I would have asked one of those three for a recommendation! One of those teachers retired, could I ask her??? She’s done a recommendation for me before.</p>
