Unique situation during my junior year…

Junior year - had a severe case of mono, combined with hypothyroidism caused me to miss 3 months of school (could hardly watch TV, it was a nightmare), as a result, I was forced to drop some of my classes and catch up as quickly as possible so I wouldnt have to retake the 11th grade. 87 in AP english and comp, 89 in chemistry, and 72 in geometry honors cringe but I made it. Will mention this in my essay so they don’t think i just screwed off junior year.

Senior year schedule will be AP bio, lit, human geography and stats, and spanish III
