Dear LSU Admission Office, Growing up in Dallas, TX was the best time of my life. My little brother and I, Bob Turner, were raised in a good home by our parents, Brittany and Brian Turner. My parents tried their best to give me and my brother everything we needed. Whether it was food or clothes, they broke their backs to provide for us.

My freshman and sophomore year were the toughest year I have encountered so far. I was constantly failing classes and getting into trouble. My actions stopped me from doing a lot of things I have always wanted to do.

Now it's my senior year and I have to start looking for colleges I want to attend. I have considered your school to attend because of your outstanding Criminal Justice and Physical Education Programs. I also wanted to attend your school because it is an out of state unive
