Hi everybody,
I'm new to sdn and I was wondering; what are the chances that I, a homeschooler will become a pathologist?
I'm in advanced math for the program I use which equals average math in public/privet schools, but I'm in elementary science (I'm in 7th grade) and its very hard for me to focus on study because my classroom consists of me sitting on my bed eating chips while do my work.
And I don't have a desk. But I am working on that.
So thank you all for your help.
God bless y'all.

a 7th grader asking about how to become a pathologist? this is really something else. it is nothing short of ludicrous to be worrying about your chances to become a pathologist when you probably haven't even gone through puberty yet. just enjoy your childhood kid

Pretty sure I didn't even know what a pathologist was in 7th grade. You're already ahead of the crowd OP, nice work.

Come back to us in 6 years when you're in college.

These days, a lot of applicants to med school are in the 22nd grade. You've got a lot of growing up to do, but if you get into a 4-year university and do well in your studies there, you could go to med school to become a pathologist.

Well it's never to young to start. My grandpa started when he was 12 and he became a surgoun.
And I started puberty when I was 9 thank you very much.

Maturity is something that will come with time and provide you with an answer to your question. Honestly though, it is great to have a dream, but don't get too caught up with it yet, just enjoy yourself now, there is plenty left ahead.

since you are in the 7th grade I am guessing you are about 13 years old. I was Unschooled, self taught with no classes or structure, my curiosity drove my education, worked VERY hard learning EVERY day, never took a day off from learning. I was very eager for knowledge and took the ACT at 13 yo, earned a 29, got accepted to the best univ in my state while 13, and started classes two weeks after my 14th birthday. I did the normal 4 full years at the university, getting all As, with all the normal pre-med experiences, and will graduate in May. I am now 17 yo and have been accepted to medical school.
Your attitude towards your studies, going beyond what is required of you by your parents, reading everything you can get from your local library ( I used to read a book a day), and your dedication to learning can pay off IF you stick with it. Good luck to you and lose the chips, eat an apple or a bell pepper.

Focus on being a life long learner. Read a lot and find ways to give back to your community. Keep the tv and electronic links to a minimum. Find friends that enjoy fun things you enjoy. That is the secrets to life, and to getting into med school. Work hard play hard, do no harm,be nice to others.
