<p>Essay:
My first essay was about my heart problem and how I still managed to have a rigorous course schedule and do ECS, etc.
My second essay was about how journalism has been very important to me, helping me realize my major (English), growing as a person, etc.
And that little space I wrote a note explaining the significant drop in junior year grades.</p>
<p>In addition, I have a cardiomyopathy and I was diagnosed with it at about seventh months old. So that's nothing new. have been absent significantly throughout high school because I get sick often. In addition, since getting very sick (thanks to a heart catheter) in Junior year my GPA dropped significantly, like to the point of getting straight Cs. </p>
