<p>I had taken about a years worth of courses at CC and transfered to a small College. All told I completed about 60 credits with a 4.0. Then I went to UMich and had a horrid year (major illness, mother with cancer and I'm her primary care giver....not to mention I'm a returning student with 4 children to care for) and my grades SUCKED (3.1 overall that year...with 1 C). I realized I couldn't keep up at that pace and decided to take a break. I went back to CC just to keep my mind fresh. When it came time to re-enroll this year I realized I truly won't be able to go back. Mostly because my mom is only getting worse and I just can't care for her and my kids while staying competitive at that type of school. Every course since I left UMich has also been 4.0, but I'm worried that whole year will look terrible. I keep reading that trying to fool the system or inflate your grades is looked upon very badly, but that's just not what's happening here.</p>
<p>What, if anything, can I do to address this issue if I decide to pursue law school?</p>
