<p>^^^thanks haha that cleared a lot up. i know i have a lot of work ahead of me, but some of those things im not too sure about. dont think my school has any clubs that would show interest in an engineering sort of major. and ive looked into internships where i live but none are really for high school students. plus the fact that i only live with one parent who makes less than 30k a year (and is currently trying to finish getting a degree) doesnt really give me an advantage. its tough haha i feel like im doing as much as i can and putting a ton of effort into getting better test scores and whatnot.</p>
<p>but ill definitely apply to other schools and see if i can still get into some sort of science or engineering program, since those are definitely areas i know i want my major to be in. if any opportunity comes up that’ll let me show my interest in any of those areas better, ill be sure to take it. so far though i’ve just signed up to take as many math and sciences courses my senior year as possible since i felt that was as much i could do at the moment. along with the courseload i’ve signed up for, work, and trying to fit in as much more community service as i can, its gonna be hard to fit in much more 
lol</p>
