My GPA is 1.25 but I hope to bring it up to 3.5-3.8 before my High School career is over. I’m going to be a Sophmore on Tuesday. I hope to try out for spring sports, also. I work out twice a day and I’m currently trying to apply as an intern at the gym to raise money and pay my own share of the bills. I’ve ‘been around the block’ this includes drugs, abuse, rape, and much more. I’ve stayed away from gangs, and that’s about it.
