<p>As you can see, my grades are not spectacular like most of the people here. If I had to justify my low gpa though, I would say that I never had a chance to learn English before I moved into a intl school. I come from a poor background and I only learned spanish at my local school. So when I first moved into a intl school (that is during my freshman year) it took me 1 year to learn English . So my initial high school gpa was pretty low. Fortunately though, my grades have been increasing exponentially, and my junior year's gpa was around 3.9.</p>
<p>Moreover, I had to help my parents at work after school so I didn't have a lot of opportunity to participate in school activities. I have, however, done several things related to language, which is the career I would like to study in college. i can speak 3 languages fluently and 1 language competently, so i belive that this might also be my unique feature.</p>
<p>anyway thank you for reading, and chance me!! thanks</p>
