<p>Note: AP world history: I am not going to make some lame excuse about how it was the teacher’s fault or that i had personal issues because well… i didn’t. I just was not ready for that amount of workload. By Junior year I realized if I did not shape up, I would regret it for the rest of my life, and honestly, I think I did change. Me and my counselor have been trying to change that “D” to a higher grade at a community college. I am currently taking the course and I am doing pretty well (B).</p>

<p>Personal Essay: ( I just started writing it last week) I started writing about my passions for computer science and web design and what I did during the summer of 10th grade to take it to the next level. Also talked a little bit about my family issues and not only how the hardships I have faced but, the competition from my fellow peers have influenced me to strive toward my goal and challenge myself.</p>

<p>Wow… I felt like I wrote “War and Peace” over here. Anywho… I would like honest opinions for all UC’s please because trying to say i am a “safety” for UCLA is downright sad and will hurt my hopes in the long run.</p>
