I’m a junior from Miami, and I’m starting to think I would like to be an engineer (aerospace). I’ve been overwhelmed by my Gpa in which has been hurt because of a career ending soccer injury on my shoulder that required surgery and metal anchors to be put in. This happened during my junior year, I had surgery and was not able to write for 1 month and missed out on tons of schools days because if pains, hospital visits etc. Then it was challenging going back to school to have to catch up on materials and suffering depression from being away from soccer forever and having strong medications for pain that made it difficult to concentrate. I took honors and APs still and didn’t give up on them and will continue to take them.
