<p>I have recently come up with an “additional information” briefly explaining my drop in grades, and how I developed healthy coping mechanisms to overcome the deaths in my family that caused the drop in grades, and how these coping mechanisms are going to help me in the future. I plan to either submit a resume or this additional information, and I am debating it, because of the fact that I slightly showed my growth and “coping mechanisms” in my essay.</p>
