As a senior in high school I found this website to be very resourceful and a breath of fresh air because I'm really struggling with trying to apply to college and though I'm still lost in this process this has helped me out some.

Your school seems like a home away from home. so you guys can expect me in about 4-5 more years because right now I'm only in jr. high, but I might be able to go to summer school there or not I'm not sure yet I hope that you get this message soon and that you will e-mail me back. P.S. I'm not really this proper I just wanted to make a good impression. I'm really friendly and nice if you get to know me.
