@oldwiggly we’ve talked so you know my story a bit 
but so everyone else knows:
I was an average achiever in high school. After high school, I messed up and made some really poor choices for a year or so, which led to some negative things, but it also eventually led me to a career field that I’m passionate about. It also led me to become a much more hardworking and motivated person, and when I went back to school at a community college I really applied myself. I graduated with my associates degree and transferred to a small state school. This is my third time applying to Brown, but my first time applying to RUE. Fingers crossed!
