<p>My grades are low, but reflective of the difficulty of courses at my school. Last semester at university I was (mistakenly) diagnosed with terminal cancer, an error which cost me good grades. This semester I'm on a distinction average.</p>
<p>I would love to study somewhere in the US, I feel like I'm wasting away in the monotony of Western Australia... </p>
<p>Chances would be greatly appreciated.</p>
