I paid for these classes myself by buying and selling stocks, a personal hobby of mine, I've made over 7000 dollars this year by doing it, and while much of it has gone to continuing my education, I've also devoted a lot of it to helping my family since we barely make ends meet.</p>

<p>I was recently diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety disorder, and while I don't blame this, I feel it impacted me in the latter half of my junior year because that was a very rough time for me and my grades and gpa are worse for wear as a result. I'm learning how to deal with it though and feel my first semester of senior year has been going pretty great by comparison. Should I make this clear through my apps as a sort of explanation (though not an excuse believe me I still hold myself responsible) or just keep it to myself?</p>
<p>I posted a while back and figured I'd update this with new info since I've started the application process, I'll be applying to QuestBridge National College Match and hopefully I'll be a finalist. Any responses would be greatly appreciated</p>
