<p>BACKGROUND</p>
<p>first year high school graduate, let alone first year college student
My mom dropped out of high school sophomore year when she got pregnant, she is now legally disabled and on social security.
My dad dropped out in eighth grade, he is now two years into a fifteen year prison sentence for drugs.
I live with my mom, sister, niece, and nephew.
combined household income less than $20,000</p>
<p>I know my grades and tests are not the best, but there is a clear upward pattern. I know that I will have wonderful references, and I'm hoping that my background will turn out in my favor. </p>
<p>I want to be a politician (maybe start out as a US Representative.) I want to go to a top tier law school (Yale, Harvard, Columbia, etc.) As cliche as it sounds; there are a good number of things that I dislike in America, and I want to see them changed. </p>
<p>RANDOMS
I'm not sure if any of these will make a difference, but whatever;
gay, vegetarian, agnostic, left-handed, white</p>
<p>AWARDS
2nd place Social Studies team at UIL Academic District 5 Competition, hoping to get more awards this year and next</p>
<p>SUMMER
I'm hoping to attend Georgetown, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Rice, or some other top-tier summer program next summer.</p>
