i am relatively quiet in my classes. i know the answers to questions but i just dont have the confidence to answer them because none of my friends are in my classes, and the people that are in my classes are really really smart, competitive and mean. it has always been this way. now it is time for recommendations and teachers know i am smart and polite but they know i dont have enough confidence either. i am giving them my forms tomorrow. i keep telling myself “answer the questions in class tomorrow,” but now i really want to get a good recommendation and i think i might begin to answer questions. will teachers believe this is just sucking up? will they like it? what should i do? (i am a relatively loud person outside of classes with my friends, but when it comes to classes i like to focus on my schoolwork am quiet)….
