Vegetarian since I was 10, by choice much to my parent's dismay (just random, haha...ignore)</p>
<p>I wanted to be an artist since I was little, but due to experiencing a bad time in my life I ended up changing my mind a little more than a year ago. It sort of affected my grades and my commitment to school (wanting to be an art major and all) and the transition was a little difficult, so I'm planning to write about that in my college essay. I'm also very into my cultural background, medicine and international relations. </p>
<p>I'm just a little worried that I'm finishing up all my desired APs senior year and taking some online/community college classes during the summer to submit for colleges...I feel so stupid for concentrating on a "hobby"; I know for certain it ruined my possibility for acceptance :( Just trying to bump up my SAT score again as well...</p>
