i just want to scream at her and do a lot of crying
is the letter all that important to turn in?
AND yes, any recommendation letter is very great. It can help you even if you're application isn't too good. It gives people a sense of who you are, what you're good at, how you act, if you're an achiever or not, if you're motivated, or if you just try your best but if you think you have a great application and you just don't want to turn one in just because then it's your own choice.
Also I want to tell you that there is no need for crying really, you should just take your mother's input besides the fact about her saying that you just won't get it, in consideration. Once again, she just may be stressed about you not getting in and she worried because she just wants you to be very successful in and throughout life. Good luck and I hope you get in.
But try taking a really relaxing shower... it helps me when im stressed.. alot.
although sometimes it doesnt last too long.
maybe a good cry would help.
Stop procrastinating =P
