strong letter from PI
strong letter from Anatomy professor

ABOUT ME:
I was in an abusive relationship for the first two years of college so my grades were not stellar but I was able to transfer to a top UC given my story. I was diagnosed with 2 auto immune diseases and my mother suffered from 2 strokes (part of why I stayed). My father also abandoned us a few years ago. I worked full time in college to put myself through school and currently am debt free
I wanted to go into law for "justice" purposes, given my situation. But, I've realized I want to heal through physical means-- and feel myself heal more through that. So, is it ok to mention abusive relationship and how its changed me? Or will I be seen as "weak" (I know, never victim blame but trust me...it's still a problem.)
So, heres an ending to the novel. I want to be realistic with school choices but also don't want to sell myself short!
