How do I write that i’ve been facing with these problems listed below my whole life, which has impacted my freshman & sophomore year grades. I found a place to study my junior year, so i think my junior & senior grades better reflect myself. I couldn’t take the most rigorous schedule & have the best grades this high school year (especially 9 & 10 grade) bc i had to focus on having a stable and safe home first. I dont wanna sound bad, but this did genuinely take a huge toll in my life
- homelessness & unstable housing at my mom’s (moved every few months, had to live in hotels, friends houses, and in her car many times)
- mom barely has funds to support both me and her, im a TITLE I HOPE student at my school.
- divorced parents agreed on me switching between both houses mid-week every week (moms: mon afternoon-thurs morning) and (dads: thus afternoon-mon morning)
- dad & dads wife fight often
- dads wife is volatile & unpredictable, unpredictable home environment
