<p>It sounds like you would really enjoy a community college. You seem eager to grow and learn and use your considerable talents. I’m not familiar with CA schools, but doing a search online I found Merced College, one of 109 Community Colleges in CA. Their advisors should be able to get you started. You should probably speak with a guidance counselor from your High School. They can advise you on which schools are legitimate. Please follow thru with this, you seem like you’d be a great success and I think you’d feel very proud of yourself! Good Luck and keep us posted.</p>
