Hey, I have this friend who’s had a pretty not so good time in High School. From Freshmen to Jr. Year he really slacked off, fell asleep a lot in class, etc. Basically the grades from that period are pretty bad. He really turned it around for senior year and made honor roll, etc.
The essay he’s doing deals with an influence, person, setback, experience, that has shaped you into the person you are now. My friend wants to know if he can write an essay that talks about how he tried to rely on his innate intelligence through out high school, and how it really failed him, but that senior year he turned it around.
The issues are-
The school doesn’t look at senior year grades.
The fact that he waited till senior year to turn it around.
That they still might think he’s lazy?
some feedback would be welcome. AIM name is HighwaySix if you’d like to read his introduction.
