<p>Greetings!
I don't know where to start... </p>
<p>I have always hated math, more specifically simple math. I spent months when I was young being forced to do hours of flashcard multiplication tables that never really helped. When I got to HS it took me 1.5 months to convince my Algebra 1 teacher that I didn't need to do the assigned homework to understand the principles, I aced every test. I just hated math (because of the flashcards). She helped me test through the rest of the semesters of required HS math classes (Algebra2, Geometry). At which point I put math down never to have to see it again, at least for 3 years. I didn't really try hard in high school possibly because I didn't feel challenged. I took some AP classes and some Duel-credit courses, for no particular reason and was involved in the swim team and just about every school play and choir performance. I don't remember exactly what my GPA was. (3.56 or 3.65) I aced the THEA (the only required test to get into the junior college) specifically the math section. I missed 1 question. </p>
<p>I couldn't really decide what I wanted to go to college for. I have now spent 3 years in and out of the local junior college here. I have tried every thing they offer that interested me: Nursing(too easy), Graphic Design(not really fulfilling), Game production(they didn't offer game design). I basically gave up, I have been working saving money and I got married. For the last 6 months I have really had a desire to get involved in ways to make the world more environmentally friendly. I was thinking of a double major in Engineering and Biology, but found there is actually a degree for Environmental Engineering. I do think I can work past my math issues, I have actually taken to helping my dad (the math wiz) at his job (drafting). I think it would be challenging and fulfilling. I also think I would be able to create some pretty amazing things to help the world. </p>
<p>Now I am 22 and have finally decided what to do and I am unsure how to do it. I have done some research on collages that offer Environmental Engineering, it seems they are all difficult colleges to get into. I have about a year here stuck at junior college, while my husband finishes his Bachelors and a few certifications. My college transcript right now is dismal. It goes in so many directions and has a lot of W's on it. I have however completed most of the normal Core classes with A's. Should I attempt to transfer to the college I choose, or would it be better to start over? I know I will probably have to take an SAT or PSAT, is there somewhere they post what a "good" score is on those. Is there something I can do with the time I have to make myself look better on paper for the harder to get into colleges? Am I doing something unheard of? I have done volunteer work in the past, mostly teaching children to swim. What kind of documentation do I need for that? Is there some place that I can go to talk to someone about all this? I know this is a desperate call for help but I would apreciate any response. Thank you</p>
