Sorry for all your losses. No matter at what age the loss of a parent is devastating. It is humurous that I thought I was a man when I was on my own at 19. Now much later I consider myself a big kid. With age comes wisdom and acceptance.
As for Dennis and the ACT some kids just do not test well.
The son of the president of my company is bright and does well in regular and honor classes. When he takes the ACT he blows it. He has been through some training class to help him to do better on the test. He has improved but not to the level he needs. He wants to get into honor classes at LSU.
Then there are the guys like me that have never met a test we could not pass. Perhaps it helps when you relax and do not care so much about the results.
I still question what value a national, standardized test provides in measuring success in college and in life. Admissions should be based on multiple criteria with one not preventing acceptance. I imagine there is some scale based on grades and test scores.
