<p>Dealt with adversity for most of my high school, my parents decided to get a divorce in 8th grade and it has not been a smooth process (it is four years later, and still going on right now), i had to move through 5 different homes throughout my first 3 years of high school (parents kept moving), and this impacted my GPA</p>
<p>I think my college essay will be extremely strong, and I am talking about this ^^ as well as commenting on how I overcame this adversity and am stronger because of it, (which explains rising GPA)</p>
<p>Strong letters of rec.</p>
