Stressing out

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I been on this site a lot and decided to make a account due to how I like getting information from here.</p>

<p>I feel like I need to let this all out somewhere.</p>

<p>First off, I am currently a high school junior at a brand new school in it's third year called New Manchester High School in my 8 years of living in Georgia.</p>

<p>I am a girl of Haitian-mixed descent. Education is such an important thing in my life.</p>

<p>At age 5, I had already been told to planned to make choices of what colleges I want to go to and they are:</p>

<p>Georgia Institute of Technology
University of Georgia
Emory University
Boston University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Princeton University
Oxford College
.</p>

<p>The careers, which I intend to pursue are either Computer Science/Computer programming,Engineering,Finance,Business Administration,or Accounting.</p>

<p>I want to say how worried I really am.</p>

<p>As a freshmen,I had honors 9th lit,Biology,honors American government,regular math one(though,teacher i had strongly wanted me out of her class to be in advanced but sadly,did not take opportunity.)</p>

<p>I did not pass AP exam for AP world sadly.In fact,no one in school dude with exception of a friend who only got a 3.I did passed the class with a 90 at end of school year.</p>

<p>As a sophomore,I decided to boost things up.Only had one AP, honors physical science,and honors lit. School doesn't have a lot of AP courses at the moment.</p>

<p>However,as a sophomore I got into dual enrollment at a local technical college and thanks to getting into Dean's list/special permission, I got into a course called Pharmacy Assistant that gave the most credits out of the other classes offered. This course level is a Junior/Senior only level.I passed/graduated from the program in the 2012-2013 school year as the first and only sophomore with a 3.6ish GPA with mostly All A's and 1-2 B's.</p>

<p>This year,a current Junior, I have 3 AP classes(AP Lang and Comp,AP US history,AP Psych.).I almost had 5 but after discussing things,decided to drop number down a little since it was said to be a little bit over kill.</p>

<p>I currently am in Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society, National Society of High School scholars. Due to financial issues,this as far as many organizations I can do.</p>

<p>Money is very tight right now for family,probably for many people nowadays and my only hope is pretty much scholarships and without a good scholarship, I don't have much chance of being in College.</p>

<p>I tried finding some scholarships and some websites but many websites are visit are of no good.</p>

<p>I plan to do SAT,ACT,SAT subject test probably this year and I am worried.</p>

<p>I have been drilled into mind how SAT matters a lot in admission and scholarships and how I HAVE to do good in it or the colleges I want to go to won't bother to give me a chance.</p>

<p>There's so much to say and I'm sorry for venting in wrong thread(If I am) but,</p>

<p>I am just unsure right now if I'm doing good or building up a good background for college or if I'm on the right track.</p>

<p>Loosen up, relax a little. Only 2 more semesters that actually matter, just gotta power through them. And you’re on the right trAxk just keep your gpa up and get a good score on the sat( practice a lot and itll become second nature). That’s all you can really do</p>

<p>It’s good to talk to other people about it, especially your counselor.
Also, if you’re tight on money and have other clubs or interests you want to pursue, I would suggest dropping the National Society of High School Scholars. It’s not as important as volunteer work or something similar. Nonetheless, I think you’re on the right track.</p>

<p>Heh yeah…</p>

<p>I’ve talked to counseled but didn’t ease anxiety much.</p>

<p>I’ve been so stressed for so long…</p>

<p>And when I was little,I had to repeat first grade…</p>

<p>Why?</p>

<p>Apparently I had ADHD.Teacher I had disliked me a lot.I didn’t have ADHD.I just knew how to make coffee at young age and have loads of sugar…</p>

<p>Because of that,I’m so caught up in doing good.I can’t explain the amount of times I cried seeing class of 2012 and 2013 graduate in my freshman and sophomore year and now this year will be worst as I see class group I should’ve been in graduate this year…</p>

<p>And there is no other clubs I can pursue sadly here cause </p>

<p>1)Not talented since school is a magnet program school.</p>

<p>2)Nothing much that interests me</p>

<p>3)Too expensive.</p>
