<p>I am A Junior in High School,and I wanna be a Civil engineer or a scientist,and it is my dream to become one of those things,and it has been ever since i was 5 years old,and i have always been good at math,always loved science in school,and always had passion for the natural world,and the stuth I need improve is my writing and English skills,and the 4 types of scientists I’m interested in becoming are a Biologist,hydrologist,Environmental scientist,or a Atmospheric scientist,but also kind of interested in becoming a astronomer or geologist,and it is my very dream to become one of these things,and I will be very upset if I can’t become one of these things I menchined I either wanna become,and what might prevent me from pursuing my dreams is my HS Transcript,and this all comes a long way from 8th grade to now,in 8th grade i failed Pre-Algebra and had to retake it freshmen year,I failed it because I was really Depressed because my grandpa was sick and had cancer and I knew he was gonna pass away soon,and he did a month before the semester was over,my depression caused for me to do poorly on tests and assignments,and caused for me to give up,then when I had to retake pre-algebra in a block class freshmen year I got really sick and got the flu,and ended up being absent a lot and ended up not understanding the material because I wasn’t there to Learn it,and I ended up doing poorly on a few tests/Assignments,and I ended up with a C in Pre-Algebra Block on my transcript freshmen year first semester,and the same thing happened for another class called intergraded Chemistry/Physics for the same reason that semester,and sophomore year I was absent a lot too because I had to have surgery and be out of school for a few weeks,and when I came back to school I took a test from when I was absent that was worth 100 points and I ended up doing poorly on it,and i ended up with a D that quarter I that class,Then second 9 weeks of the semester,i was there everyday,and ended up with a A+ that 9 weeks,and I got 100 on the final exam,and my final grade for the semester on my transcript was a B-,I know that might not be good,then second semester I was absent a lot too because I had a lot of dentist appointments,and ended up with a B- that semester too,and another problem I have is I’m special ed and have asperger’s,and since I’m special Ed I’m not allowed to take any AP,Honors,or College Prepatory classes,and I know a lot of those classes are a good preparation for science and engineering majors,and for college credit,and I won’t have tooken any higher level math then Algebra II when I graduate,I Can take physics and chemistry next year,and I haven’t tooken the ACT or SAT yet and am studying for them so I do well on them,and I also had C’s in electives sophomore year,and since I had those C’s freshmen year,my GPA from my freshmen-sophomore year has always been between 2.5-2.9, the only things I can do is turn around my academics now and shoot for all A’s,study for the act and sat and do well on them,and take more science classes next year,I have always done well in All my academics in elementary school and most of middle school,and got good grades in the subjects i need good grades in and i miss being happy all the time back then when I thought I was gonna be whatever I want,until the end of middle school things happened and so far throughout my high school career,and I feel like it is the end of the world for me,those are my only career interests,I’m not gonna become something I don’t wanna be,will going to a community college to learn the stuth I need to improve my skills,and taking classes that will transfer to a university fix my problems before I go into a science or engineering program?</p>
<p>While Math and science are obviously quite important for Engineering, you need to consider improving your English grammar as well- your entire post was one run on sentence.</p>
<p>I’d recommend talking with your parents and your school’s guidance counselor. They can help you figure out what your options are. Bad grades at this point in your education don’t have to stop you from achieving your dreams. And community college, especially ones with a strong tutoring or counseling program, can help you in the areas you are struggling with, as well as help you get schoolwork done even during stressful times.</p>
<p>Thank you,I know some universities will still want my HS Transcript when transferring from a Community college,and I know some universities will only want my HS transcript if I don’t have a certain amount of credit hours,like for an instance University of Cincinnati only wants my HS transcript if i have less than 30 credit hours,if I wanna transfer to a university that wants my HS transcript when transferring,should I ask them if i can write a letter that explains my HS transcript? write why I had those grades my freshmen and sophomore year?,why I had improvement my junior and senior year if I go to school everyday,learn everything I can,and turn around my academics? why I did good at the community college I went to if I do good there?</p>
