Got in trouble for leaving school 10 minutes early
My last class of the day is ASC or the academic support center where I’m basically a tutor and help any students from the school in whatever subject or assignment they’re having trouble with. Most of the time it just functions as a study hall and I thought my teacher was pretty chill and didn’t think much of me. Yesterday, I left school exactly 11 minutes with all of my stuff and my bag without letting him know which was the dumbest decision I could have made in hindsight but at the time I wasn’t thinking of it at all since this teacher doesn’t care how long I’m gone when I get water or go to the bathroom. I get home and a few hours later I check my email and see that the aforementioned teacher emailed my AP Lang teacher (who oversees and organizes the ASC) that I left early without letting anyone know.
It’s not that big of a deal that I got in trouble for leaving early since I broke the rules but the bigger issue was that I’m a junior planning to major in English and was intending to ask my Lang teacher for my recommendation year. She has a reputation for being super selective with who she picks and I put over a 100% effort in all her assignments, didn’t miss a single class (other than when I took the ap psychology exam), and basically did everything in my power to get her to like me, and around 3rd quarter she started being nice to me which got my hopes up. Now after this ik that my character in her eyes has probably tanked. Also it’s worse because my asc and lang teacher are not just coworkers but friends. Do I just accept the L and ask my history teacher for my recommendation instead and give up on my English teachers? This has been irking me because I feel like my asc teacher could have just talked to me directly but went straight to her instead. I’m probably being a dramatic teenager but now I feel like my rec letter is gone and I’m feeling more hopeless about the entire college application process. My history teacher is super sweet and I like her a lot but I was really counting on this and seeing it gone because of something I did in another class is making me severely suicidal.
