<p>Quick Notes:
My first year in high school was rough, both socially and academically. In the 10th grade, I became a loner for a LONG year (that's all I can say about that). In the end, I hope I challenged myself enough during my last two years at this school. =]</p>
<p>Short Personal Statement:
I'm shy at heart and harbor much regret inside myself. Yet I realize that--regardless of any standards others might have--I have conquered many personal obstacles.</p>
