<p>Due to constant moving, and retinoblastema the grades slipped significantly, till this summer when I got motivated and now I believe i can look past those and keep trying for a top notch education.
Also because of the retinoblastema I believe pretty much the only colleges I can go to are those that put education first, so people wont notice as much.
Ie. Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge…</p>
<p>I can surely explain this in an essay, and interview.
I wanted to go into premed/bio and help research the disease and prevent others from facing what I faced throughout school and early life. I guess.
And like i just said, I honestly believe the only place I can do that in without facing peoples comments is an elite school.</p>
