<p>As of right now, i am a sophomore so im writing this just to see what my future might look like.</p>
<p>During freshman and the first half of sophomore year i've had extreme, life changing difficulties at home.
My brother was on drugs and would go crazy on my parents ,doing extreme and unthinkable things for a LONG and consistant period of time. caused all types of problems for not only himself, but for my family and i. Just as an idea, my oarents called the cops on him 3 times. Later he went on to get a DUI and work constantly. Now he's a new man an back on his feet :) Also, during that time my father had lost a large sum of money in the stock market and was also laid off. My mom was just as much a a victim as me, as we were under stress. But im proud to say we're all a genuine happy famiy. I am now an incredibly strong minded, hardworking, and promissing individual.</p>
<p>Freshman year i got a 3.0 and a 3.1. (i now understand that UCs dont look at them?) I had two pre-ap classes.</p>
<p>Im a sophomore now, and i got a 3.3 gpa first quarter, and a 3.6 second quarter. I know that my grades are not the best.</p>
<p>Classes:
Chemistry honors -B+
Algebra 2 - B
World history AP - B-
French 2 - A (retake)
Orchestra - B+ (my first/last one in the class.) i know i will be first chair for all four years.
English 2 - A-</p>

English 3 AP
Biology AP

<p>Next year i am DETERMINED to get at least a 4.2 out of the possible 4.5. Biology and english are some of the hardest classes on campus.</p>
<p>My ECs are:
-JV soccer captain this year

<p>As for my SAT:
