I played a role in planning the future of Kenosha Unified School District. We developed strategies and action plans for the next school years in the district.</p>

<p>So do I have a chance? I am applying any way because I love the school and I love the archeology program they have. Which I plan to take if I get in</p>

<p>I can get a good teacher recommendation that’s not an issue</p>

<p>I can write an essay because I can write quite well when I want to as you can tell from my achievements</p>

<p>I am just kinda scared because what if my grades aren’t good enough. Do they take into consideration that they are almost all honors except for gym and health and such. </p>

<p>I am also like 11 percent in my school so do they look at that?</p>

<p>I really scared that I won’t get it and I don’t want to go anywhere else. I don’t even want to think about it!!!</p>

<p>How do my chances look?</p>
