<p>I’m worried about college. I’m only 13 years old , and I’m trying to figure out what college I want to attend. I came from Asia, and when I arrived here, i was disappointed about how easy our lessons were, so after school, I home school myself using the internet. I just came here last December, so I am not involved in any extracurricular activities. Not to mention my school is the worst school in the area. I have a life ambition of getting into an elite college like Harvard. Back in my foreign country, there were no middle school, so I was advanced. I also took a national test before I left, and I passed it and gained admission to one of the best high school branches in that country. Well, I wouldn’t tell you where I came from, but it was not the best country in the world. My father has a contract with a nursing home here in Illinois for three years, so I need to endure 3 years in that miserable school district. I planned to attend Oxford Academy if it was possible, but however it is, I need to find a way to attend a good high school so I can have the odds of getting into an Ivy or Stanford or MIT. I love writing, especially my feelings, using metaphor and I am currently writing a manuscript for a novel. I am also taking online courses, which is pretty difficult because it’s college stuff, but I can manage the history and other science parts. For math, I need to take it step by step first before going into deeper ones because I might not understand. I seemed to have a very logical mind. I also love reading books and I am already reading adult books like books by Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Stephen King, Agatha Christie, and Nora Roberts. I love learning so much that I became obsessed with it. I know it’s too early to ask and quite frankly foolish, but I’d like to know the odds of me going to the college I want. :)</p>
<p>Stop. Relax. Give it two-three years.
But don’t stop working hard, keep taking challenging classes, and pursue interests. If you worry and stress about this too soon, you’re going to peak early.</p>
