“Totally fair question. It's tough for me to talk about, but I was battling severe illness for two years when I first left for college. I was under medical care by a number of doctors between October 2012 and March 2014, when I was deemed healthy and released from medical care. Although my grades suffered throughout my illness, I made a conscious decision to not let my health delay my graduation date. As you can see, upon recovery, my grades improved.

Please note that the C I got in [class] in Spring 2013 was retaken in fall 2013 with a better passing grade. You'll also notice that since my release from medical care I did not receive another C during my time at [college]”
