<p>So here are my grades as of right now:</p>
<p>9th Grade:
English 9AB: F/F (Repeated in Summer and Adult School: B/A)
Algebra 2: D/F (Repeated in Community College:B/B)
(H) Biology: A/B
Spanish 1: F/C (Repeated in Community College: C/C)
10 grade:</p>
<p>English 10AB: C/D (Repeated 2nd semester: A)
World History: B/B
Geometry: A/B
(H) Chemistry: D/C
Spanish 2: F/F (Repeated at Community College: B/B)</p>
<p>11th Grade:
(H)American Lit: F/<a href=“Repeated%20at%20Adult%20School:%20A”>N/A</a>
(H) Contemporary Composition: [N/A]/F (Repeated at Adult School: A)
(H) US History: C/D
Trig/Math A: C/C
Physics: C/C</p>
<p>I’m wondering if I can use SAT Subject test for US History to cover my D 2nd semester, nd I also heard if I get a good grade in 12th grade science class it would cover my Chemistry D (I have an A in AP Bio this year). </p>
<p>Also, is there a way to use my Elementary Spanish 1 College course for my 2nd year of HS Spanish and then use Elementary Spanish 2 for my 3rd year of HS Spanish on college apps. Then for HS I could use Elementary Spanish 1 to cover the F in 9th grade, then have Elementary Spanish 2 cover for HS Spanish 2, then leave Spanish 3 as Ds. Can i do this?
If I can’t, can i simply not list my 3rd year in spanish and only use my 2 years of community college?
If I’m allowed to substitute my grades accordingly, I’ll meet the 3.0 gpa req, if not I’ll barely miss it.
I did my personal statement [Prompt 1] and I think it’s really good (It’s below)</p>
<p>I grew up in a world where education and academic achievement was everything. My life was dedicated to getting good grades so that I could get a great professional job. As I grew older, however, my mindset changed as I noticed I was lacking. I was able to figure out what I lacked, social intelligence. I was shy, could not hold conversations, and I had trouble adapting to a more social environment. I had been in no way prepared for any social interaction because Id been raised solely for academic success. People noticed my awkwardness, so I started getting bullied. As the bullying went on, I began to hate school and anything associated with it. My grades slipped and I no longer had any ambition in life, as my grades only seemed to bring me pain. I eventually developed deep anxiety issues and felt inferior; I was so lost, I did not know what to do anymore. My outlook would change once introduced to a new mindset. A friend in one of my classes in high school had almost straight As and a colorful social life. He noticed how poor my grades were, and questioned me about them. When I told him about my personal struggles, he empathized with me and gave me some advice. I needed to have confidence in all areas of my life, and not to allow others negatively affect what I do. He gave me a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad, saying that I might learn from it. I did not understand what a book about money could possibly do for me, but I read it anyway. Reading that book aside from teaching me about finance also reinforced what my friend told me. The book emphasized self-confidence no matter what anyone else said, because there will always be those who are there to doubt and break you. I began to apply this to my daily life by expressing my knowledge in my academic subjects, instead of remaining quiet or pretending to be dumb. I did this all with an air of confidence, even boasting a little. I did not reject my ideas and instead fully embraced them. I was inspired by the innovative inventors of todays world and how they overcame their own struggles and wished to be like them. My life began to vastly improve and my grades even improved. I had been given to empowerment needed to believe in my ideas and push for efficiency. Unfortunately, I became very conceited over time. I thought I knew more than everyone and was intellectually superior. I stopped doing homework because I thought it was a waste of my time and effort since it could easily be cheated on, and my friends started to dislike my attitude. I quickly realized I was becoming an outcast once again, only it was not due to a lack of confidence, but too much. Once I toned it down and reconciled with my peers, I was able to learn a valuable lesson. A good balance of self-confidence and humility was a good recipe for true success in life.I seek redemption so that I may get the necessary education to pursue my future endeavors. I want to be a financially dependent investor and entrepreneur. I want to create an energy producing company that use methods that dont create carbon emissions (solar panels, wind turbines, etc…); I also want my products to be innovative by incorporating technologies such as solar panels, into hardware so that it may run on clean energy and be more cost efficient. No matter how ridiculous a Solar Hybrid Laptop may sound coming from that awkward left-handed guy, I will always have faith in my ideas.</p>
