<p>ExieMITAlum: I AM a cross country runner. I love to read. Writing is a passion of mine. I want to act. I love having classroom discussions. I like to learn. I am a researcher. </p>
<p>I’m not trying to backtrack or exuse my grades. I know I deserved those grades, because I procrastinated, but I also got that grade because I wasn’t challenged and didn’t try as hard as I should. Part of the reason I am interested in boarding school is the structure it provides; having an assigned study hall would make sure I do my work. I am really upset with myself that I earned such low grades, and I am now working hard to improve my grades, to about a 94 average.</p>
