<p>I was diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of 10th grade. Since then I have been working diligently and staying focused in school. My medication has deeply helped and reshaped my learning in school. But before being diagnosed, I had bad school/study habits. It has come back to haunt my GPA, so it’s lower then it should be. But I’ve tried my best to make up. I am entering my final year of high school. College is creeping up closer and closer. One college that has really stuck out for me is the University of South Carolina. I would fit in perfectly academically and socially there. Also My GPA and SAT scores are good enough to get in. But the only problem is my parents. They have suggested a lot of small colleges for me, but there too small for my liking. I have always liked a lot of stimulation in and around me, since the day I was born. But since I have ADHD they aren’t sure if a big college would be suitable for me. They’re worried that I will get too caught up with distractions and big classes wouldn’t be good for me. It seems they are basing how I am now to how I’ll be when college comes around. There’s so much time till then, and I know by then I’ll be a different person for the better. Nothing is impossible, and I don’t want to regret not giving USC a shot just because I have ADHD. Also it’d be odd to let ADHD prevent me from doing what I want, considering I’ve been treated. I know I can do it and fight temptation. If it doesn’t go well then I can always transfer to a smaller college. I am really confused on what to do right now. </p>
