Letters of Recommendation
Many college applications and scholarships ask for a letter of recommendation. Most teachers are happy to write a letter for you - don't be afraid to ask! Make sure to give your teacher as much time as possible to write your letter, and give her as much information about the purpose of the letter as you can.
