The only school I feel like I would be truly happy at is UCLA, but even my parents are telling me I really have to work harder to get in.
I have a 4.57 weighted GPA this year (I have 8 class periods a day), and next year I’m in swimming, soccer, tennis, Key Club President, French Club Vice president, Red Cross Club Secretary, CSF member, founder of Film Club, 150 hours of hospital volunteering, and 2 jobs. I took AP Euro as a sophmore, and AP US history, AP English, and AP chemistry as a junior and got all As in all of them, except the first semester of sophmore year.

This is ridiculous. I’m seriously killing myself with the stress of maintaining all of this work, and then I see people who are doing even more.
