So I've been thinking recently about the teacher recs for my college applications,
and I realized that wow I really don't know who to ask. I looked at the forms they have for the teachers
and they have a chart asking if I'm creative, show leadership skills, most defining moment, and all that stuff.
I don't know which teacher even knows me well enough to fill that out. I'm just a typical student who answers questions sometimes,
but I'm not a genius and don't particularly have the limelight in class. Are these recommendations really important?
What if a teacher who didn't really know me that well gave me like a low mark for showing leadership? Will that count against me?

Well, it depends on the teacher, some teachers will lie for you and write good things. Some might write not so good things, some might not even take the recommendation paper.
I remember i was gonna go ask my global teacher to do it and he's like , No sry i only do students that gets above A.=( He made me so sad

Anyway, this is why you have to participate and speak up in class, or ask questions. Even if your answer isnt that great or your question seems stupid, the teacher will know you're into this stuff and this will help you
