<p>My story…
Two or three years ago I applied to some university. Now I plan on moving and decided to wait another semester before I apply to the University I want to go to for expense reasons. Anyways I applied as a Non-Degree to the school I was rejected from so long ago and got a letter saying because I was rejected I cannot take classes there. So yea I am screwed because the nearby CC doesnt have the courses I need.</p>
<p>i was born here. now i have a lousy chance to get into a US university.</p>
<p>Tons of stuff
Here’s one:</p>
<p>Although I know I’m intellectually capable of attending an Ivy League, I goofed off my freshman year in High School and that is kind of a problem.</p>
<p>I did good and bad things that will affect my academic future:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>I will regret all my life not having switched high schools at the end of freshman year when it was possible. Mine was very mediocre and kept me from truly giving my best at school. I graduated with, say, a 3.0, which is good in France, but it’s way lower than what I can do. </p></li>
<li><p>I will also regret not having realized high school grades mattered, and goofed off all the way from 6th grade to senior year second semester. </p></li>
<li><p>However, leaving for the US is the best thing I have ever done, and I now realize that hard work is rewarded, by a good college & social status.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I knew I shouldn’t have eaten the ovedue pie
Now I’ve got a stomach ache
But the pie tasted GOOD</p>
<p>Nothing academic but I fooled around with some guy I didn’t know and it came and haunted me.</p>
<p>I was in LA and people were asking me about it (I’m from NYC). It takes a really large psychological toll, not that I cared since I easily countered it with “Yeah. I’m a lesbian.”. </p>
<p>So remember girls/guys, your rep is on the line when you try to do ANYTHING skanky.</p>
<p>Here’s another thing:</p>
<p>I think this sort of had a positive impact on my life although it was kinda hard at first. 5 years ago, my family immigrated from Nigeria to America and the transitional phase upon reaching the United States proved to be daunting. It was really hard adjusting to the lifestyle but I eventually fitted in. Like the adage state, “When in Rome, do like the Romans do”. However, I did get something positive out of this. I was promoted to skip a grade after blasting that entrance test. I just turned 16 three months ago and I’m currently going to the 12th grade.</p>
<p>Wait… my past… affects… my future???</p>
<p>HOLY ****</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You just ruined my life. :(</p>
<p>The world is too harsh. I will live in the dark corner in denial now. <em>scurries off to corner and cries</em></p>
<p>Ohhhh I get it. So THAT’S WHY people have bowel movements after eating. Ohhh. Man I’m a genius. Must go spread the news! Past: Eat. Future: Bowel movement!

<p>(Yeah, I really like sarcasm)</p>
<p>…wait. What about constipation?</p>
<p>i was born outside of the us, and now i can’t get any financial aid (or loans without like 30% interest) and am eligible for very few scholarships. my parents are killing themselves paying for their kids educations completely out of pocket.</p>
<p>and i ****ed up my 1st yr, which is gonna hurt my chances for grad school</p>
<p>Definitely:
I worked really hard throughout highschool, now have choices. </p>
<p>A few of my friends and I grew apart, but it gave me a chance to meet the friends I have now. </p>
<p>Didn’t quit even when it became so painful I wanted to cry. Now I’m glad. </p>
<p>I’m glad I was born in the U.S., but if I hadn’t been, France, Quebec, or anywhere else in Canada would have been fine.</p>
<p>Eating.</p>
<p>I’m still alive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>REALLY???</p>
<p>one time I dropped this sports almanac, and this guy picked it up, stole my car, and the next thing i know he’s my dad and my mom has fake boobs and my school principle walks around with a huge shotty and bullets draped across his chest.</p>
<p>I wish that really happened.</p>
<p>me.duh, empty your PM box
My answer to this question above was no.</p>
