<p>help this poor student in need and chance me pleaseeeeeee, for Columbia University! First time college confidential user..</p>
<p>I'm a junior right now at a very reputable public high school in NJ. I have moved a few times:</p>
<p>1) From S. Korea to the U.S. in grade 1
2) to another town within state in grade 4
3) to another town within state in grade 10</p>
<p>Most people would think that moving so frequently would mess with your grades and social life, but every time I have moved, I loved my new town even more than the first! I was able to grab more opportunities, and I'm thankful to my parents for dragging me to my new town even when I didn't want to. </p>
<p>I think my strength on my app will be that my experiences with moving (once even in the middle of high school) have actually improved my grades and extracurriculars. </p>
