<p>Well, this isn't really a required essay but it's an essay explaining why my grades were low for my sophomore and begining of junior year. Anyone want to take a look? What i am mainly looking for is an essay that doesn't sound whiney and give a bad impression so i want to know how it sounds to you when you read it. </p>
<p>Here is my background: father lost job from recession about 4 years ago, we went bankrupt, did not have a job for 3 years (until his business finally kicked off this year), we earned 3K in 2008 and 5K in 2009, and i am not sure this year but his business is slowly getting better. During this time my mom left home to take care of her mom who has Alzheimer's and my gradnfather said he would help with donations if she went over to take care for her, so she has been gone for two years. This family issue really took a toll on me since my mom was not home and my dad always drank and did nto come home and i really stopped trying in school and my gpa went from 3.7 to 3.2ish for sophomore and begining of junior year. Although i did bring it up to a 3.67 last semester when i got my act together.</p>
<p>So yeah there is my background that you might want to know when reading the essay. Anyone want to read, PM me.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
