Thanks for all your replies guys!

There was no reason why I screwed up. I just went from been the stereotypical hispanic female to really wanting to succeed. I was very angry at how everyone looked at what I considered “my group” (race). I wanted to show everybody: “Look everybody I fit your stereotype perfectly well and I’m going to fail.” But then, I met a military sergeant that changed my life. He motivated me so much and made me realize that whatever the stereotypes out there, I am a worthy American citizen that can prove great to society.

Although I know that my freshmen year might put me in a disadvantage, I also know that I still have a chance. It’s true that alot of kids who are “perfect” all four years still don’t get in- but I realized my mistakes just in time to make a change. Instead of 7 classes per year, I took 12. The extra 5 been online. I made sure to spend my summers at the community college getting more classes that interested me. I raised my GPA from a low 2. something to a 5.0.

Again, thanks for all your replies. psychotickevin, its true what you say about other kids. This might prove trivial but I just want you to know that I didn’t go through any “misfortunes.” I always had everything economically, socially, and family wise. I just decided to change my life.

Thank you everybody!
