1st teacher rec and guidance counselor rec should be great. 2nd teacher rec will be very good.

Essay is very good. It is about how I have learned to live within the instability of an alcoholic family. One of my parents has been in and out of recovery for the last 6 years which was the reason my grades suffered in Middle School (2 grades of which are on my transcript because they were HS level and are pulling my GPA down)
