recommendation letters?
Hello! I have a question and would really appreciate your advice. I need recommendation letters for some programs, but in my country they aren't very common, so it's difficult to find teachers who have experience writing them. Would it be acceptable if I explained my academic record and achievements to a teacher, provided evidence and supporting documents, and then asked them to evaluate whether I deserve a recommendation letter based on that information? If anyone has experience with this or has been in a similar situation, I would be very grateful for your advice. Thank you!

What kind of jobs can I get if I don't have a good enough gpa, which is a 2.5 GPA, and at least get to 75k entry level
I'm a 9th grader, and I love playing soccer, and I love the marketing world, and I just want to know if I can find a job in marketing because I know right now it's challenging with my 2.5 gpa and i havent taken any marketing classes (im doing that my 10th or 11th grade), and I just want ot make a lot of money, and I hate math and science, but I don't think that would get in the way. Thank you, and also one more question: I've been thinking of going into finance if I don't like marketing, so I just want to know more about finance with my interests, and I know a lot of places have different salaries, and I just want to know the median, or even better, in Minnesota

Do I need a research mentor if I plan on conducting secondary research?
Hello! My name is Sanvhi and I am a rising junior. This summer and in the following months, I plan on conducting secondary research on the connection between architecture and domestic violence in India, exploring how spaces can impact the increase or decrease in violence taking place. To be honest, I am not completely sure how having a mentor works. In my research about it, I learned that I would assist them with their findings, and others different stories. I have heard that it is best to have a mentor for research, but since my research is not something I believe I can do with primary data I have gathered, I am not sure if I need one. If I did have one, I honestly am not sure what we would be able to discuss, or how they would be able to help me. Please let me know what you think. Thank you!
