Are the classes in Geology and Earth Science Programs fun?

AP classes were not offered at our high school but she did complete the IB Diploma program. Her disadvantage was that she had never had taken a programming class whereas other kids in class had some experience. She started out with Calculus I and had to take a number of advanced math classes. She had to take a placement test in orientation to place into calculus 1. If she had not passed it she couldn’t register for the first year engineering class requirements.
I won’t say math is easy for her. She has to work really hard in all her classes. When needed she goes to office hours or meets with study groups formed in her classes. The classmates try to help each other whenever they don’t understand something. We all have strengths and weaknesses. She had gotten some “C’s” her first year but then she figured out how to study and now does really well in her classes. She attends a state school not too far from home but plans to apply to medical school once she graduates after working for a year. I never imagined her to be the engineering type but she loves her classes and has really good teachers so things worked out in the end for her.
Hopefully things will work out for you too. I am giving you the same advice I gave her. Take it one semester at a time.
Don’t be afraid to go to your teachers for help when needed.
