<p>Hi,
I am a freshman in high school. I'm 14 and have been a citizen of NC my whole life. UNC is my dream school, it always has, and always will be. I started high school 3 weeks ago, and although I realize it's early I want to know what I can do to better my chances of being accepted. I am taking the most hardest classes I can take. Sadly, in middle school, I didn't really apply myself, so my schedule isn't the hardest one availabe. I'm taking World History Honors, English 1 Honors and, Earth/Envirnomenal Science. While other kids are taking 4 or 5 honors. Anyway I'm in the marching band and just recentely joined FBLA (Future Bussiness Leaders of America.) I am going to a fairly big, well known public school, Porter Ridge High School, and just want to know if anyone on here could give me any advice on what I should do to get accepted. I know it's a long way away, but I feel like the whole world is wanting me to fail sometimes, and I just can't. One of my biggest problems in school, is my stutter. I have horrible speech. And it isn't because I'm nervous or anything like that, it's just in me. I can't control it. The other day in my English class we had to do a play on the Miracle Worker and I just couldn't stop stuttering. I tried, and tried, but it wasn't enough. Anyway I know I'm getting off-topic. I'm not really sure where to put this, but all I know is I'm a regular kid with a passionate heart who wants to succeed.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
