<p>Wow, everyone, thank you so, so much for all the fantastic advice! I loved reading your comments. It’s so wonderful of all of you to take the time to reply, and you’ve all made me feel a lot better.</p>
<p>Good question, Opensecret–if only I knew what I wanted to become! Something useful. Helpful. Something that exercises my intellect. If I’m lucky, something that will affect positive change.

<p>It sounds like the best thing for me to do is to compromise–I can take some courses in ec and applied math and maybe even get a secondary in mathematical sciences.</p>
