Will my grades severely hurt me?

That is what I am worried about. I am not really sure why I suddenly lost track. But I think the problem was that I wanted to get A’s. But while trying to do so, my grades started going down because I tried to just get through school without really learning, but instead just trying to “memorize” everything for tests and so on. When exams came, my grades suffered even more because of this.

In junior year I changed this idea and focused a lot on learning and got a lot of help from teachers and I believe I am on the right path now. I talked about this in my essay, and explained how I have changed and now because of that challenge. I have found a true interest which I am pursuing. So I guess I turned that negative into a learning experience and made it positive.

Although there was a downward trend between 9-10 grade, I think there is an upward trend after that from 10-11-12 grade (I have worked hard this summer and believe I can get all A’s next year). So I was hoping that Hopkins would be able to see that I am capable of doing well, and I also have an intellectual vitality. As a result, I wanted to know what you guys thought.
