BUILDING A RESUME EARLY!
While it may not seem important, many students will get to their senior year and forget all of the accomplishments they received and when. What stands out amongst the crowd are those who are able to remember, show their organization, and express how important this opportunity is to them. Check out the Resume template to get a head start!
Brag Sheets: What are they & why are they important?
A Brag Sheet is a document that students fill out and give to teachers or counselors to help them write strong, personalized letters of recommendation.
Think of it like a mini-resume crossed with a reflection tool. It "brags" on the student’s behalf and gives recommenders all the info they might not know otherwise.

A Recommendation Request Form helps your teacher or counselor write a thoughtful, timely, and accurate letter on your behalf. It outlines important details, like where the letter is going, what it’s for, and when it’s due, so your recommender can support you effectively.
Think of it as the logistical partner to your brag sheet. While the brag sheet highlights your achievements and personality, the request form makes sure your letter is submitted the right way, at the right time.
