## Prompt

```text
Help me create a brag sheet to give a teacher, counselor, or professor who is writing me a recommendation letter.

**Who is writing it and their class or role:** [e.g. "Ms. Park, AP Chemistry junior year"]
**What it's for:** [college applications, scholarship, internship, program], and deadlines: [DATES]
**Memorable moments from their class or our work together:** [projects, questions you asked, times you struggled and improved, helped classmates]
**My activities, leadership, and work:** [LIST with dates and responsibilities]
**Qualities I hope they can speak to:** [e.g. curiosity, persistence, leadership]
**Anything I want them to know about my circumstances:** [optional, e.g. working to support family]
**Where I'm applying and why:** [SCHOOLS OR PROGRAMS]

Do this:
1. Organize everything into a one-page sheet with clear headings.
2. Turn general claims into specific evidence: what happened, what I did, what changed.
3. Prioritize 2-3 stories this writer witnessed directly, since those make the most convincing letters.
4. Draft a short, polite cover note to go with it, including deadlines, submission method, and a thank-you.

Return the brag sheet (under one page) and the cover note.

Use only what I tell you; don't exaggerate or invent accomplishments. Note that it's best to ask writers at least 3-4 weeks before the deadline and to follow up with a thank-you note.
