When I get to college I hope to study either Biology or Chemistry but what I have been hearing from college students is that the major that they choose frequently changes. By hearing that I feel like my major will change also but only time will tell. Also, I am considering minoring in psychology because the way people act in situation and why they do that just fascinates me. I chose those majors and minor because I feel like choosing those minors will help me get ready for my ultimate goal of becoming a surgeon. The main reason why I have always wanted to be a surgeon is that I have always enjoyed helping others and I have thought of no bigger way to help others then with their health. The Pre-Colligate program is helping me accomplish this goal by already putting me in college orientated classes. Without this experience I would be entering college unprepared for the reality that would hit me. In a way I feel like I stand out against the countless numbers of people who are thinking the same way. Having experience in college like writing an essay assigned to me and due the next day. Also, besides just already expecting the work I’m hearing of the college experience from the T.A’s which is extremely useful. Besides the education piece the experience of college is what makes it memorable and I want it to be memorable. However, I cannot answer all the questions because college is a changing experience for many and who knows what will happen to me. I do know that Pre-Colligate has put me on the right course for college and has prepared me for my future.
Yonas,
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly right - college is a changing experience! I think going in with a pretty strong sense of what you want to do while remaining open to change is an excellent strategy. The fact that you're doing this work now will be a huge benefit to you when you are a freshman and will help you stand out from your peers.
