<p>Well, most of you probably laughed at my hs grades, but that's true. I wasn't interested in studying at all and hung out and wasted all of my youth time.
At some point of my life when I saw my parents working so hard to supprt me in every way, I almost cried out and started giving much thought to my future. When I first came to the US, all I knew about Eng was like A,B,C, and D. I have been studying for Eng and my major so hard for 3 years.</p>
<p>btw i will get a good recommendation from one of my closest professor.
In terms of essay, I will focus on an impressive progress of my study, and my life at large. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if you guys chance me and give me some advises
please be as harsh as possible</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
