Tips for getting a good recommendation

Whether you are in high school or college, you are probably going to need a recommendation from a teacher or professor one day.  It might be for college admission, even grad school, or it might be for a scholarship or job.  But no matter the reason, the tips for getting a good one are still the same.

Somewhere along the way, you need to find a teacher/professor/mentor who knows you well.  Of course that means you have to allow yourself to be known. You have to make the effort to form a relationship.  You also have to be an active participant in class.  That might mean you are constantly involved in discussion, or you're always bringing in new ideas. It might mean that you play well with others.  In other words, you're a good team member. You do your share. You help bring others into the discussion...that sort of thing.

We'll help you take care of the timeline, but it is up to you to work on the rest.
