My academic background consists of challenging courses, as well as classes that allow me to “take a breath” in order to prevent me from feeling suffocated. Regarding utilizing additional support at school, I attending tutoring weekly last year once my AP English course began to feel overwhelming. The tutoring allowed me to change my perspective on how I wrote and allowed me to elevate and format my writing style in a way that would make my writing easier to understand. However, this year I feel content with the courses I am taking, but I will not hesitate to attend tutoring if one begins to feel significantly heavier than the others. Additionally, I believe my grades in high school reflect my academic ability and potential to a certain extent.
