Who should I get a letter of recommendation from?

Letters of recommendation are most meaningful if they are written by a person who knows the applicant in question well or has known him/her for a long time and has a very positive opinion of him/her (e.g. teacher, principal, trainer or other supervisor).

Important:

A letter of recommendation should never be written by a family member.

Hint:

American colleges require letters of recommendation in English.
