Open Question: Is my GPA good enough?!?
Im finishing up Sophomore year. My accumulative gpa for freshmen and sophomore year is a 3.55. My freshmen year GPA was a 3.7, 2 honors, and my Sophomore GPA will be a 3.4, 4 honors classes. Next year I expect to get somewhere in the range of 3.85 - 4.0. Im taking honors classes in the classes I’m most strong in, while taking level 2’s in the classes I am not as strong in.
Anyway, I know a 3.55 isnt that great. If I was to say keep it in that range instead of drastically improving, is it good enough to get into a good college.
Now I know this isn’t an excuse. But one of the reasons my gpa is lower this year is because of family issues. My mom had a heart attack 2 years ago, and my dad died of cancer a year and a half ago. Because of that, I suffer from extreme anxiety, constantly worrying about my mom. I just find it so hard to concentrate in school while worrying about my mom, and this anxiety makes it so hard to focus on studying, and get to sleep at a normal hour.
Also, my grandma was diagnosed with alzheimers disease this year. I was in and out of hospitals with her because of falls and other problems. I normally get home late from her retirement home where I volunteer at, leaving little time for homework.
Since colleges won’t know that story, is a 3.55 gpa good enough if I dont bring my GPA up, even though I think I will.

Open Question: is this a good ending to a sad story?
(dogs point of veiw)
They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you - that you had changed your mind - that this was all a bad dream…or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited.
I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table, rubbed my ears and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.
She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand
in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured “How could you?”
Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said “I’m so sorry.” She hugged me and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn’t be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself - a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place.
With my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my “How could you?” was not meant for her. It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever.
i hope this doesnt get deleted i just put this in this section cuz its where all the people are
