<p>Essay
My essay is about my fear of heights. When I was little, I fell down a flight of stairs and nobody came to help me. From that experience, I learned that not everybody will help me and I have to help myself. Also, I developed a fear of falling down, and now will always try to get back up after falling. Yeah, there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.</p>

<p>Recommendations
2 glowing recommendations from my guidance counselor and chemistry teacher. My chem teacher was also on the city’s Asian New Year Festival planning committee with me and discussed about her experience working with me in her recommendation.</p>

<p>Intended Major: Mathematics</p>
