Hi how can I prepare from this point to get into a UC or USC?

<p>I'm 27 years old. I'm attending my local community college. I took about 10 classes (none major/math/english) part time in a span of 4 years and my Gpa at the time was 2.6</p>

<p>I know its bad but i came back just past summer because i dont have to help my family financially anymore like i did few years ago. I have been working full time, sometimes even two jobs trying to get by. I plan to take about 20 classes and the best i can do is 3.5 gpa with mostly if not get all As. Im taking 12 units right now and im getting at least 2 As and the other 2 cclases i have a B so far but i can get an A by working harder.</p>

<p>I live on my own pay my own rent and i still work 30 plus hours weekly.</p>

<p>Are there any chances for me? Will college transfer admissions be impressed with my life experience? I hope for a 2nd chance in life. I never really drank nor partied. I was always worried about my future and priorities because i thought im stuck and i have no future but here i am with $15,000 of savings of my own money after helping my family out. I was raised by my single mother and i gave her at least $25,000 of my own money in a stretch of 4 years or so.</p>

<p>Mostly worked at small businesses and retails since i was 19.</p>
