<p>Essay:
My essay dealt with the balance between goals and happiness. I which I discussed mt ambitious goals but also explained that I don’t like to take off more than I can handle and always make time for family and friends- which is when I am truly happy.</p>

<p>I applied too late for early action so now I will be waiting for regular decision. I have visited campus. And I am already accepted at Tulane and St. Joes (safety). I am hopefully that my GPA and class rank will go up a good deal at the end of the semester and my midyear reports look to be all A’s.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>
