Okay, so here’s the deal:

For middle school I went to a small magnet school for the arts where I was a theatre major. My class had about 140 kids, and you had to audition to get into the school.

For high school, I decided I didn’t want a career in the arts, so I transferred to my home public high school. The whole entire student body there was about 3,000. I hated it. I went there for all of 9th grade, and quarters 1 through 3 of 10th grade. I did terrible grade wise, and could never get involved in extra cirriculars because it was so competitive.

So then, last quarter of 10th grade, I transfeered to a private Baptist high school, my whole class consists of 9 people, including me. I was finally able to get involved and pull some good grades. We don’t have honors, college prep, etc.

So here’s what I’ve got so far:

GPA: Right now, overall I think it’s a 2.8 (maybe)
Rank: Unsure
SAT: Haven’t taken it quite yet.

8th Grade:
French I 82%

9th Grade:
(I’m kind of doing this from memory)
Freshmen Focus (required) 96%
Health and Wellness (required) 75%
Algebra 1 CP-B 82%
French II CP-B 70%
English I CP-B 82%
Global Studies I CP-B 77%
Physical Science CP-B 75%/78%
PE I 78%

10th Grade:
(Quarters 1-4, Public and Private School (final averages))
Journalism I 85%
Law Education CP-B 93%
English II CP-B 74%
Global Studies II CP-B 77% (Don’t really remember this one)
Spanish I CP-B (Quarter 3=60%) I had to drop it because I switched schools and we were on block scheduling and I couldn’t take it at the new school.
Computer/Keyboarding 92%
Biology I CP-B 75/78%
Geometry I CP-B 83%

So, I ended up doing much, much, much better at the private school and I had close to a 4.0 GPA from 4th quarter. I’m shooting for one junior year!! Unfortuneatly, my grades from quarters 1-3 were terrible and had to be salvaged by the good grades at the new school.

Extra Cirricular’s:
-Varsity Cheerleading
11th grade-Captain
12th grade-(hoping for captain again)
-Varsity Volleyball ((11, 12)
-Competitive Figure Skater (3 years)
-Drama Club (11,12) (Founder)
-Varsity Softball (11,12)

Volunteer Work:
Going to hop on that this year!! =]

SAT Prep: I’m going to be taking that as well so I can make sure I get some good SAT scores or ACT scores.

Winthrop (Interior Design mostly)

Savannah College of Art and Design (Interior Design)
