GPA as of the end of junior year: 3.64 UW // W 3.75
— Freshman year of high school my dad’s business was very slow and we could not afford a baby sitter and tutor for my siblings anymore. Everyday after school I would have to watch my siblings and tutor both of them before i got to any of my work. My grandfather became a heart patient and because of that and our financial problems my mom’s stress levels played a role in her bad health (she already has diabetes and thyroid and it made it worse for her). Because of that my freshman grades dropped and my freshman gpa was 3.14 UW (no honors no ap) and because of that I got into no ap classes for sophomore year (3.79 UW no ap no honors).
