Hi everyone! A bit about me...

Just joined, been reading for awhile. IB has always been a big draw for me and something I really want to be a part of.

Unfortunately, I screwed up in school a bit. It's definitely my fault in terms of what I should have done better and my effort level, but I was in a major that was more from family pressure to go into professional school than what I wanted. I didn't really even realize that I didn't want to be going down this path until my junior year and it caused my grades to suffer. I've already received my degree, did some random stuff here and there for about a year, and now am looking to get into what I really want to do.

The good thing out of all of this is that I at least figured out what path I want to go on, and even though I don't have the grades, have a science degree, and didn't go to an Ivy, I'm determined to do whatever it takes to get in!

Look forward to talking with you all!
