<p>Also i was elected aws Chief financioal officer of my class and i am currently running for president for Deca </p>

<p>First, I have overcome more learning challenges compared to the average student. For example, during my freshman year of high school I was assigned to attend a learning center class three days a week because teachers determined that extra help with my homework and test-taking skills would be a benefit to me. By the end of my freshman year, however, a reevaluation revealed that I no longer required extra assistance. My diligence and sustained efforts to adopt the learning center’s problem solving strategies were successful and provided me with the valuable tools necessary to apply towards my studies. This just proves that when I encounter any difficult tasks, my hard work and determination will help me achieve concrete results.
Second, during my junior year, I faced certain medical challenges that impacted my academic life and temporarily deterred me from maximizing my potential both as a student and as an athlete. In October of 2007, my cardiologist advised me to cease all physical activity until </p>

<p>further notice because I had an abnormally enlarged heart and was diagnosed with pre-hypertension. As a result, I was not able to complete the cross-country season and was restricted to homebound activities. This was a difficult time for me. Nonetheless, my resilience and optimism helped me
maintain a positive outlook about my condition. For example, I focused my energy on other things including schoolwork and improving my second quarter grades. In March, my doctor gave the clearance allowing me to once again participate in physical activity. Despite having only a short amount of time to prepare for my cross-country season, I was able to improve my running times–a feat that I achieved exclusively through dedication and determination since I was committed to putting in extra time at the track to get myself back into shape. Although during my junior year I was dealing with the added stress placed on me by my unexpected medical crises, I remained hopeful and was able to stay focused towards my academic goals. After being cleared to run, I pursued my running goals with the same vigor as I demonstrated in the classroom. My secrets to overcoming any challenge, whether it was big or small, have been my focus, commitment and hard work.</p>

<p>I also got a 1080 on math and reading. 610 in math and 470 in reading</p>

<p>You should be OK. Temple normally accepts over 60% of their applicants. And your resume is pretty good, and your SAT scores are just a little below the average at Temple (1110 math/reading).</p>

<p>Temple's DRS is not very helpful for learning disabilities. There are much better match schools if you want to declare LD. If you don't need much in the way of accommodations you'll be fine.</p>

<p>^umm Temple's DRS fully accommodates students with learning disabilities, what are you talking about? I should know because I receive accommodations...</p>

<p>They're fine with accommodations, but the people who work there are utter morons. If DRS is a concern, I wouldn't recommend TU.</p>
