Coming from where I'm from

An excerpt from my seminary application essay:

"One day's events that captured my life in high school was [the Friday] I received my score on the ACT. I cut class that day [after drinking late into the previous night], but after school I went to pick up my [Caprice] from the [high school] parking lot. I ran into a teacher who told me to inquire at the office about my ACT results. I learned that I scored a 34 out of 36, bettering 99% of my peers across the nation. As I was gloating, the dean saw me, realized that he hadn't seen me during class time, and suspended me. I learned of my greatest academic achievement and earned my severest school punishment in the span of minutes."

Grace kept me from total self-destruction.
