College

Everyones favorite topic. College. What college are you attending? Do you have the money? What about scholarships? Any question relating to college. Sheesh, i would love to go to college, since its a new experience and i keep hearing that its a life-changing one as well. I'm in a family of four, who can barely afford anything at this moment, like almost everyone in this world. They want me to succeed and head into college, continuing to study; and as I said, as much as I would love to, right now, it seems unlikely. I have been accepted to CSULA, the only school out of 8 that I applied. Therefore, i'm doing everything i can to enter this college. However, in reality, it doesnt seem so, because I have three D's on my transcript. They wont accept (very easily) students with those grades. Some say, "Why not summer school?" Yeah, i would love to do it, but its three D's and they only give you two classes to make up. And my senior year doesnt seem so nice either; I'm doing everything that i can to try to get into CSULA. I have many supporters who believe that i can do it, however, i see the reality of it. My dream school is UC Berkely, only because I hear it has an amazing engineering program, and thats what I want to study, mechanical engineering. But i have to stick to what i have and pursue CSULA. Who knows, things might change, especially those people who are helping me live through this nightmare.
