BRAG SHEET
FOR
RECOMMENDATION LETTERS
Seniors: If you wish to receive a letter of recommendation, please fill out this form and hand it to
your teachers, counselors, or any other possible candidate.
PLEASE KEEP ONE COPY OF THIS FOR YOUR USE AS YOU ASK
TEACHERS/COUNSELORS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
Please make sure your writing is legible. Give thought to your responses, as they may be
included in your recommendation letters. We realize that this is not an easy task; however, it may
be critical in your college/scholarship process. Allow at least a week for a counselor/teacher to
write a letter of recommendation for you. Give them a copy of this "Brag Sheet" to assist them in
writing your letter.
