<p>During my last two years of high school, I decided to switch to independent studies because of my anxiety. It was significantly easier than my old high school but that may not be saying much since it was the best school in the county. Here, it’s not required to take math above Algebra I and since I took that my freshman year, I just stopped taking math after that which I now completely regret. I graduated from independent studies a month ago and took my assessment test at a community college last week. I felt so stupid. I forgot how to even do simple algebra. What’s frustrating is that if I took this test my freshman or sophomore year, I would’ve scored higher and if I continued with math, I might have even been eligible for Pre-Calc instead of Elementary Algebra…I know there’s really nothing to do now except relearn everything but would it be possible for me to still get into a good school after two years at a community college? I’ll definitely try my hardest and take summer classes as well. I really want to go to UCSB and i’m seeing the counselor tomorrow to see if I can get a TAG there. I would also love to attend Cal Poly SLO or UCSD but I don’t know if i’ll be good enough considering where i’m at now.</p>
