Additional information- MOST IMPORTANT wrote two essays
In my junior year I had to take care of my brother – 1st grade, mom worked out of state due to economy in the housing market, dad had to work evening hours until midnight – lasted until April- GRADES effected big time, effected AP scores- everything went bad to turn it around- I took 7 ap classes 1 hn senior year, 1 hn class over summer w/ 2 programs.
I also have stuttering which affects me everyday- this should make me stand out…
