<p>I'm talking about that I was sort of a bad student when I was younger and all I tought about was sports, but when I was 15 I started taking school more seriously and got up my grades a bit just in time choose high school. (we are offered different academic program, I'm international and we have a complete different schoolsystem) ofcourse I wanted to go to the athleticsprogram, but didn't get in. (missed it by 5 point on a 320 scale :P) Instead I got in to the Mediaprogram and I was real disappointed. but I ended up loving it, I also got better grades each year.
And now I want pursue Journalism that I fell in love with by accident or fate!</p>
<p>It feels like a pretty good/ok story if I write it well. </p>
<p>I'm applying to Northwestern, I don't have the highest grade in all subjects som NU is a huge reach for me.. But, could an essay about this help? (if well written) Is it a good idea?</p>
