<p>Situation: </p>
<p>Father died in 8th grade year, subsequently my mother went into severe depression and was on medication. I did bad in my freshman year ending with a 80.01%. Basically, if you remove my freshman year from my GPA it is about 3% more unweighted.</p>
<p>In 2007 just a few months after he dies, I felt I needed to make money to help support my family and tribute to my father, I began researching basic hosting techniques. In late 2007 I got a job at a small web hosting company which I now serve as an executive team member.</p>
<p>In 2008, I opened a hosting company. It ran for about a year but was unsuccessful mainly due in part to my lack in business skills. I was only 14 at the time. I had some server downtimes and handled them incorrectly. In lieu, I sold my company to a large provider of web services.</p>
<p>In 2009, I revamped my business ideals completely. I spent months researching SBA policies and other regulatory practices. In mid 09, I opened my company, which I registered with the state as a C Corporation. I have been successful this far, generating revenues in the low-mid 5 figure range. I have a business partner who is also my age and we work on building web applications. Currently we are working on a patent pending HR site. We also cater to private clients. Since we are developing, revenue has gone down as we are not taking as many clients privately. About 2x,xxx-3x,xxx yearly.</p>
<p>Duties include: building company credit and establishing tradelines 40-100K, accounting, tax 1120US, support, and fiscal/legal matters with small programming on the side. Approximate 30-35 hrs/wk spent.</p>
<p>Projected senior grades are 95, a 6% improvement from last year unweighted. 4 APs, all honors courses taken. Calc up to II at a local community college, GPA there 3.9.
That's why I want to do ED2 for Stern.</p>
<p>My essay is about my ups and downs after my fathers death but mainly about my business and how it was similar to my lifetrack. I write about what I learned from my business and the life lessons, and how it changed my personality. </p>
<p>Chances, please? :)</p>
