“I am going to hack college admissions.” I vividly remember thinking I was a genius. I remember thinking that everyone knew that the three main parts of undergraduate admissions are your school work‚ extracurricular activities‚ and standardized test.

Although I would still take AP classes and be active in class‚ I never studied; I thought in the back of my mind that because my standardized tests

However after years of begging‚ my parents finally gave in. They allowed me to take care of one of their

She had a twenty percent chance of surviving‚ beat the odds‚ defied her experimental treatment and gave birth to me. There was an eighty percent chance that I would not be alive today and that makes me appreciate everything in life. Osteogenic sarcoma was the rare bone cancer my mom was diagnosed
