My Problem in College - Personal Statement Example

  I would have deferred from college, but I opted to complete my studies first and cater to my ailing family. In the fall of 2012 semester, I embarked on undertaking five classes, since there was no one to guide me in subjects’ selection, where I took 3 major classes, along with 2 GERs and an accounting class.  I would have deferred from college, but I opted to complete my studies first and cater to my ailing family.

 However, things have been getting better in 2013, owing to my grandmother’s recovering due to her chemotherapy. In the fall of 2013 semester, I took 15 credits and enrolled in the tutoring services for my Spanish 102, Asian 210, and Economics 210 class, in an effort that has significantly improved my GPA from a 1.6 to a 1.998. Currently, owing to the alleviation of challenges at home, I am taking 5 classes in the spring semester of 2014. My grades have shown a significant improvement in the spring and summer of 2014 semesters, despite being a volunteer in VITA - Volunteer in Income Tax Assistance, and then I started to work as a paralegal intern, I was able to maintain my grades.

I hope you will consider my challenges and base my capabilities on the 2014 semesters, where I showed my optimum academic aptitude.
