I sent it to something like 10 teachers (only got responses from 8 though), my head of sixth, the deputy heads of sixth and my parents and sister. So quite a lot of people!

My best friend read and edited mine. I read it many times. I read it to my mom.

Seven. Two were professionals in the industry in which I want to work and three were students on the course I applied to. My form tutor and head of sixth form also made me give it to them but I didn't give it to any of my teachers.
