personal statement
When I flipped through my album book, I found a picture of myself that I took three years ago, just looking at it made me realize how much I’ve grown up and changed, not only physically, but also mentally as a person in the last couple of years. A few months after the photograph was taken I entered high school as a freshmen without any idea of what to expect. The only thing that was important in my life at that time was clothes, the latest movie that came out, and the hottest singers/bands. Grades were never a concern to me and I didn’t challenge myself by taking any AP classes. Although I did take an honors class during my sophomore year I didn’t find it much of a challenge. Outside of school, I didn’t take any prep classes because I believe that they do not teach anything – it only prepares you for exams.
