I am adopted by my white father, I have two sisters who are very blonde and white.

<p>My biggest insecurity is that I feel like I haven't taken enough challenging courses while I have been in high school. My mother was struggling with an alcohol dependency that she's now gotten help for during my first few years of high school and my main focus was on making sure my sisters were taken care of. I didn't take as many AP classes for this reason. Will this really effect my chances?</p>
