<p>my rank is like 10% weighted.
taking the calc BC and 7 ap classes in total.
don’t worry about my GPA</p>
<p>When I first moved to the United States of America from China, I was in the end of the second semester of my Freshman year. I missed so much information for every class I was taking. I had problem communicating with my teachers and friends. I was not familiar with the school grading system. To solve those problems, I tried my best to catch up with the class progress, and kept practicing speaking English with my friends. However, the time was limited. So I did not earn expected grades on the final exams, which brought my GPA to an extremely low level.</p>
<p>In my sophomore year, I could not take many Honors classes because I was in the ESOL program (English For Speakers of Other Languages). But once I understood how it works, I tried my best to do well in the classes and practice for the FCAT, which can help me get out of ESOL program.</p>
<p>All my hard work finally paid off. I scored very well on the FCAT in 10th grade, so I got out of ESOL in the 11th grade. In the 11th grade, I took as many AP and Honors courses I can, because I want to build myself for the coming college life and become a better person. In the 12th grade, I’m taking four AP courses and three Honors classes.</p>
<p>My GPA may not be the highest due the reasons listed above, but I have been trying my best. I believe I will keep trying my best to solve any problems and challenges in the college life.</p>
