Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey Yall!
Ok, heres my problem.
Next year my school is trying a new program. Its called "school within a school". There are going to be 16 career schools inside of our school. Your electives, and the type of classes you take are going to be based around you "major", or "school".
I've been really interested in medical, anesthesciology. I thought, when I shadowed an anesthesciologist at the hospital, that it was a lot of fun, and a great occupation. You get that feeling, like your "saving someones life". Anyways, I am not big, at all, on the Math or Science, and I'm not very good at it (B's). Anyways, I found out really how much you use math and science and I don't know if I'd be able to commit to all that. Medical School, College..and it would all be based around Math and Science pretty much. Then I found out my school was going to have a medical "career school", "major". But, I found out my courses/electives, would be double in math and science. Taking 2 math and science courses, instead of a "fun" elective.
I've also been really interested in law. Not boring, land ownership law, but criminal justice. Being able to defend myself is one thing I do best, lol. Anyways we are also going to have a "law career school" where you would take introduction to law classes, and your basic academic classes (honors,AP's, whatever your level is).
I also have been interested in journalisim, fashion design, culinary arts(hospitatlity and tourisim), etc. I have no idea what I'm going to do! I have to pick my "school" in January, after Winter Holiday.
So here are a list of all of our career schools:
1) Agriculture, Food, and Natural Rescourses
2) Architecture and Construcion
3) Arts, A/V Tecnology, and Communications
4) Business, Management, and Administraion
5) Education, and Training
6) Finance
7) Government, and Public Administraion
8) Health Science
9) Hospitality and Tourisim
10) Human Services
11) Information Tecnology
12) Law, Public Safety, and Security
13) Manufacturing
14) Marketing, Sales, and Service
15) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathmatics
16) Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics</p>

<p>By the way, I'm in 9th grade, going into 10th, so this will be for 3 years...I can switch "schools" if I don't like my choice, the next year.</p>

<p>So now, what should I do!!!??? Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Why not just postpone entering a school until you are ready to make a choice? Anyway, Law, Government, and Business sound like fun choices.</p>

3

<p>Do you have a guidance counselor that you could discuss this with? That's a hard decision to make.</p>

<p>High school is supposed to be the time when you explore all different fields and figure out what you like the most...I had no idea what I wanted to do freshman year either. What I would do is try to find out as much as possible about the actual electives you'd be taking in the schools that you're interested in the most, and make your decision based on that (instead of what career or major you'd like to pursue in the future)
If you're still having trouble, discuss this with someone who knows you well personally and academically, like a teacher or counselor.
Most importantly, don't feel that there's a wrong choice - if the school you pick doesn't work out, you can switch + you'll know before you get into college which field might not be for you</p>

<p>I don't like this because we should be changing our minds at this point in our life...I think I want to be a doctor now, but who knows how I'll feel in a couple years. The school district adjacent to my own has a similar program to this</p>
