College Personal Essay
I am a 16 year old with a good family, teenage problems and want to go to college what’s
new right? But the problems I been through should distinguish me from the other 16 year

projects no matter how judgmental his peers were towards him. After I witness him
get straight A’s in a private school Boys Latin that made me want to start getting
serious about my schoolwork. Especially when he had a bright future ahead of
him and it all ended because of this stupid cancer called Renal Cancer, the school
