i asked for advice and have gotten a lot of information through this but along with that i am fed some .....i have not raised a liar and dont intend to promote it now. she has talent and beauty and we do not need anyone else to remind us of that this is what i will do... i will remind her of her strengths, her beauty and we will find peace in whatever she decides to do. thank you all

You should also know that on some GLO's rec forms there is a space to "check" that states whether the writer is personally acquainted with the girl or knows her "by reputation." Either option is valid and can result in a viable rec. I won't write a rec on a girl that I don't know at all, but I will write one on a girl with a solid resume, solid grades and solid reputation that I have checked out with people who DO know her.
