College
14/f
Ok so now everyone is talking about college and what we are gonna do after high school. I want to go to college but I don't know what to do. My grades suck. I've tried so hard to get them up and that brings me down. Biology and Math are the worst for me. The rest I'm fine. I know I don't have to decide like right now. I have lots of time but I want to have some sort of an idea. I use to want to be a vet but that would take alot of work. I doubt I'd get into a 4 year so I was thinking maybe a community then over to take 2 more years at a university or something. That's what I've heard from some people. I'm afraid I won't amount to anything and maybe later in life I will change my mind about what I want to be and stuff. So do you think I'll be able to make this? Thanks so much!

you are not dumb. I have never met a dumb person. I am in university and there are people here even with learning disabilities. I am so happy to hear that people are thinking about college at such a young age! University education is more about perseverance than intelligence. You just have to find something you love because that will make it easier to spend time doing it! The harder you work in life the more it pays off and even pays in the end!

First off, as you said, you don't have to make up your mind yet. You still have at least 2-3 years of high school left, right? And even then, nothing's set in stone.
Instead of focusing on what you're bad at, look at your strengths; and not just your scholastic strengths. So you're not good at biology or math... that just means that you shouldn't do anything in the physical science field. What subjects are you good at? What are your personal strengths? If you're really good with people, maybe you should go into business, or even teaching.
What are your interests? That's the most important part. Not only should you do something that will keep a roof over your head, you should do something that you enjoy. So keep that in mind.
If you can, focus what classes you take on your strengths. Can you avoid taking a lot of biology or math courses? Then do so. It'll help raise your average, and you'll get more out of it.
No matter what you decide, you will amount to something. Everybody is equally important, whether they're a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or pizza delivery guy! The important thing is to be happy.
