<p>OTHER INFO:
Father was in a nearly fatal accident when I was in 7th grade and ever since then everybody has to take care of him so I wasn't really able to be involved in anything prior to getting my license in 11th grade.
My other issue is that I missed a lot of middle and high school due to being in the hospital. I have chronic pneumonia and a bad immune system so I'm constantly in and out of the hospital. Finally between sophomore and junior year they tried some new experimental thing on me that seems to be working better.</p>
