New Plans ( Well, at Least I Think....)

I had my mind set out to become a veterinarian, but it's slowly changing. Now that I look at it, I don't I can become something so overwhelming. You have to be good at math, science and speaking and I'm short on two out of the three...math and science. I (well, I thought) am pretty good at science and math kills me every time. At this point, I don't think becoming a doctor is right for me anymore. Students are zooming right past me and I feel like every time I take a step forward, I take two steps back. I still have senior year to decide what I really want to do and I've talked with my parents about it. I think my D in AP chemistry and my D in pre-calculus helped me realized that it'll only get worse in college. I'm leaning heavily towards nursing because of my mom because she was in the nursing field. I've also considered speech pathology or teaching, because I had a stuttering issue when I was younger and I kind of do now and I want to help other kids feel really good about themselves and have the help I never received. This is really disappointing when you really wanted to do something but don't think you can get there. Any suggestions?

If you want it, then obtain it. I had a psychological disability in elementary school and most of middle school and was often told by my classmates that I was pretty much a lost cause. The minute I was exposed to biology, I finally had a subject I enjoyed; before I chose my profession, just that simple newly awoken affinity was a drive behind my efforts to improve all around. Thanks to my own persistence and support from some great people, I am about to graduate high school in the top ten of my class, college credits already under my belt, and a full ride to a mildly competitive university. I now have my affinity for biology and a strong dedication to service to people driving me through things that once crippled me. Getting a F or D is not failing, failing is giving up on something you truly want. Just my two cents.


On your other career interests, I have an older coworker (volunteer work) who graduated with a Bachelor's in Speech pathology, but changed concentrations in Grad school and ultimately chose a separate career. My coworker disliked the science behind the field, so if you think a scientific profession is not going to be your cup of tea, then you may want to look at a few degree requirements before selecting Speech pathology.

Psychology is a good career it doesn't require a lot of physical/hard sciences. You can choose to work in a children's only psychology clinic. Nursing is also good, but it does still require a lot of science. If you like children, look into middle school or elementary school teaching. Do you like/are you good at social studies?
