<p>I am so excited I am a college bound senior! August 26 I will be attending college. I'd like to ask you guys some questions. This is a big step for us so please answer them maturely :)
Do any of you guys know what career/major you want to go into?
Are you going to a community college / university?
If you are going to a community college are you happy/sad/angry?
What classes are you taking your first year in college??
What clubs are you joining when you get to college?</p>
<p>The career I want to be in is the medical field but its not what I really want I'm more interested in making videos and taking pictures but unfortunately the field is too packed. Despite the great grades I got in high school as well as graduating top 10 from my senior class of 2013 I am going to a community college. I applied to many scholarships as well as the Gates Millennium scholarship but unfortunately I lost. But the good thing was that I won a Comcast leaders and achievers scholarship :). At first I was angry to find out that the only option I have is to go to a community college because my parents cant pay for me to go to my dream university, University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne because of the financial difficulties. But I will go to the community college for 2 yrs then transfer to a 4yr university so I will start to get the hang of it. The classes I am taking my first year is </p>
<p>INTDSP 101 - College Success Seminar, a class that is mandatory for all freshman's. </p>
<p>Math 140 - College Algebra</p>
<p>Reading 125 - Develop Reading Skills II</p>
<p>Spanish 101 - First Course Spanish</p>
<p>I don't plan on joining any clubs but I do plan on taking a summer class next year to get my certificate license to allow me to get a summer job working in a clinic. </p>
<p>SO what about you guys???</p>
<p>Community College and University: I am attending both options at once, commuting to a lesser selective university as well as a community college.</p>
<p>Major: Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Most of the ‘smart’ people went to a place like Berkeley? And for the sake of, most of them are there for the Computer Science. Same with my college–you’ll find many more computer engineer or computer science majors (we share several classes and orientation groups) But I’m doing a rare subfield of EEE that is only offered in two California schools and it is demanded universally / has less graduates than needed. I’m saving ridiculous money and will end up debt free (Berkeley would put me well in debt and I don’t even get the accreditation / will likely have to live in the Silicon Valley for a job afterwards), while also taking part in a straight path to victory, so I’m really happy.</p>
<p>As for the CC, I’m happy–it allows me to stack on Diff Eq’s to this semester’s classes. Yay, I love math. And I might as well love circuits even more which I need Diff Eqs for them.</p>
<p>Classes:
Differential Equations
Calculus III
General Physics Mechanics (Calc based)
Communication Experience (learning how to work with a team etc)
Introduction to Criminal Justice (GE, got out of ethics, so happy)</p>
<p>Clubs:
Circle K for sure–the community is actually better than Key Club
Engineering Societies
Etc</p>
<p>I’m a rising senior, but I’m taking all my classes through dual enrollment at a university next year so I’ll tell you about that.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Do any of you guys know what career/major you want to go into?
I probably want to major in math, but I don’t know what career.</p></li>
<li><p>Are you going to a community college / university?
It’s a random state university. I don’t plan to stay there. </p></li>
<li><p>What classes are you taking your first year in college??
The first semester I’m taking Linear Algebra, Intro to Ethics, Intro to Differential Equations, and Intro to Number Theory. I don’t know about second semester…it’s sort of dependent on how much I like my first-semester classes.</p></li>
<li><p>What clubs are you joining when you get to college?
Probably the math club and their version of the Secular Student Alliance.</p></li>
