I know my GPA doesn't reflect who I am, and I don't know what colleges I would belong or be accepted too, please help?Answered

I’m no expert but one little tidbit to consider is that in my home state, resident students with a pretty good GPA (3.0 and up I think) and who have the required number of core classes have “assured admission” I think that’s what it’s called, where you almost certainly will get in, so check out some of your in state colleges, they can provide some really cool opportunities (and are often more affordable), so if you’re looking for good colleges you could potentially attend without being a flawless student don’t overlook state schools as safety/target schools on your list. Just my first thoughts.
I don't know about colleges, but you seem like you have a really good essay possibility. If you talk of all your hard work and sacrifice in various extracurriculars, and life issues, colleges will see that and view you as a person of high integrity and work ethic, despite your GPA. Also your SAT might make up for any GPA disparities. Just do your best on that, and start working on essays.
