Please Chance Me!

<p>*I think it should be noted that my freshman year was horrible. I have no explanation as to why, honestly. I can't really remember anything about it, and that really confuses/scares me. The only thing I can think of is that I was really overweight (I have lost over 100 pounds since then) and I was so self-conscious it affected my schoolwork? </p>
