Today, it’s been almost exactly two and a half years since I went through a rough time in my life, resulting in me almost dropping out of high school. Last night I found my first term report card from the year I almost dropped out – all of my marks were below 70, and some even below 50. Last month I was accepted to the university of my dreams and offered a $4000 scholarship due to my "excellent academic standing" over the past two years. How much I've changed my life makes me proud and MMT.

Thank you so much for this. Today my parents let me stay home from schol so I could finish my essay which is worth 200 points of my English grade. I was up til 4 am last night trying to get it done and I always feel overwhelmed. I have ADHD, depression and anxiety issues. I pull my hair out like a tricholomaniac, I bite my fingernails until they bleed, my mom has tried to get me to stop by getting thick manicures on them. I gnaw through them and when I can't bite them anymore I bite the skin on my fingers until they are too sore to even bend. Ever since a suicide attempt in the 7th grade my academics has plunged. I somehow managed to make it into the prestige college prep school I've wanted to go to since 2nd grade and even test into honors math there. I know I'm only a freshman with a 2.23 GPA but I feel like my life is already over, like I've failed before I started. This gave me hope. I've never admitted any of this to any of my friends, only my mom knows. I know feel so much better. Thank you.
