<p>My story starts when i was just entering high school. i had a somewhat normal looking life until it took a turn for the worse. My father had lost his job, then some weeks later he lost his father and best friend. not know what to do my dad turned to drugs to help ease the pain. my mother, the enabler fell on this bandwagon too. some time into this my parents stopped taking me to school and everyone just fell apart. After CPS was called in for drugs and domestic violence and we lost the house, i was taken and placed into another home. (since, i have been looking for stability as i have been bouncing around and currently i have no set residency.) I started going to school and finally thought i was back on track to be somewhat successful. This was, until i found out that my father relapsed along with my mother. This was a devastating blow. i had no friends, i had no dreams, no one to talk to, no parents, no nothing. i fell into a horrible depression and stopped caring again.</p>
<p>going to fastforward to the present, i can go all day on this pity party.</p>
<p>Since this i have grown up, it is no ones responcibility to hold my hand anymore, i am on my own. I have a 1.6 cum gpa. i want to be a doctor more than anything, but i am afraid i cannot get into any undergrad school. going into my senior year i have yet to take the act(which i will score about ~30 on) or SAT. i was curious to see what i should do. i will be making a 4.0 average this year as i have turned over a new leaf. do any colleges take cases like me? I want to be great, i just need somewhere to go to college. i really dont want to set my self up for failure and attend a community college because of the bad reputation looked upon by med schools. perhaps some schools will look at my test scores, good senior average, CPS documented report, and let me in? has anyone heard of this ever happening? i just don't want what happened to control me, that's all.</p>
