<p>Well I am currently a junior in texas and hav been living with my mother and 2 younger brothers for 2 yrs without my father. He was deported and hasnt made it back yet. Our income has been cut to about 30,000 dollars. I have also had to recieve a hardship license because my mother needed me to drive. However my grades freshmen yr and sophmore yr were absolutely horrific...my GPAs were 3.4 and 3.7 during those times. But then my father left the end of sophomore yr and i have come out as a new man and have gotten a 4.4 gpa so far even without my father here and all the extra tasks i hav to do because his absence. Would explaining this circumstance help me out to even sway me in?</p>
