Chemistry is my favorite subject, and I also do well in math and physics. I am thinking of becoming a 
Chemical Engineer. 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.  

I don't think I would need 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.

I also like math a lot. If chcmical engineering doesn't work out, there is a need for statisticians to
design and test medical and scientific experiments. I might need a Ph.D. to really get ahead in this
field. But I know I can get an M.S. degree in statistics within the math department at San Jose State
University. 

I could also take classes in SAS (a statistical analysis programming language) at Ohlone College in 
Fremont. This would let me take classes near home, and I could probably afford to live at home while
finishing my degree.
