LORs
Biology Teacher: 9.5/10, Kind of the only teacher that I was actually close with in school, to the point that we are on a first-name basis. Wrote about my progress from not paying attention in his class to becoming a hard worker. Mentioned my constant obsession with asking for more resources.
History Teacher: 9/10, The only other teacher that has seen my growth due to IB classes being two-year courses. Talked about my improvement as a writer and leadership in the classroom. Mentioned a story about the time I got stuck in the history department''s walk-in safe.
Counselor: 6/10, Kind lady, but never spoke to her before senior year. She had my mother call and talk about me so that she could better understand who I am.
Polish School Principal: 8/10, Wrote about my evolution as a student and all the various organizations in the polish community that I participated in over the years. Probably the most personal letter of them all as she has known me since I was 3.
Personal Doctor: 10/10, Talked about his experiences with me as his patient and how those translated to me eventually shadowing at the same hospital. Mentioned our mutual friendship and plans to work on research papers in the near future.
