<p>Hello :),
I'm going to be a sophomore this fall and I've really screwed up my transcript. This is because I had very terrible eyesight for many years and I have a struggling single mother who has an income of less than $26,000 annually for the both of us. I've finally saved up enough money for glasses and got them by the beginning of June (freshman year) . I know for sure now my grades will significantly improve. Also, I have asthma , eczema, allergies to many animals and even trees, and I get ear infections a lot. I don't have health insurance so my mother has to pay $800 per medical check-up.
I sat in the front of every class and I still could not see. If I improve my average to above a 95 and get straight A's for the rest of my high school career , as well as get an SAT score of 2200+ do I even stand a chance? If I get a 4.0 for the rest of my high school career, I will have a 3.9 GPA since my freshman GPA was only a 3.6. </p>
