College and Career Plans
22 Augest 2019
College Goals
Chemistry is my favorite subject, and I also do well in math and physics. I am thinking of majoring in Chemical Engineering. Chemical engineers work with industrial processes to produce chemicals and use them safely.
I could finish a degree in Chemical Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, or UC Davis. I have applied to both of these schools. I qualify to be admitted to both schools. If they don't have room for me, they might transfer my application to another California public university that has an engineering program.
College Plans
I don't think I would want to go to community college. I have passed the AP chemistry and physics tests, and I also took two semesters of calculus at West Valley College while still in high school. I may have a better chance of getting into additional challenging chemistry and math classes at a university, instead of a community college.
I don't know how I will pay for college. I can afford to pay for school, but I cannot afford to pay for living expenses away from home. I received one small scholarship, but not enough to pay for everything. I might be able to work while attending college. I already know how to work in a shoe store. I might be able to flip burgers or pump gas during evening hours.
