Current Diploma: Cinema, Video, and Communications (was ok but I'm ready for the big boys >_>)
Next short term goal: Make up four courses I need to be eligible to get accepted into either Pure and Applied Science of Health Science at College. (two year program)
After that: Apply for a Bachelor's of Biology at McGill University here in Montreal.
And after....: A master's
Long term goal: PhD in Biology, specializing in Mammology and perhaps something even more specific.
What everyone needs to understand is that I am POOR in math. I am better in science but even there I struggle. But Science fascinates me so much, I think this change was inevitable. And I want to work with animals, they are the best people.
My science grades have to shoot from a 75 average to an 85 and preferably higher. I'm aiming high to be invited to the first choice science, which offers seminars and things the regular science program doesn't. If that doesn't happen it's ok, that's just my best case scenario in this case.
I have spent three years in College already, not knowing what I wanted in my life for a career. More often than not I feel I've wasted that time. And at every turn I'd be confronted with the fact that I didn't have the level of math and science needed for everything that I wanted to do. Yes I'm good at art, but I was bored in it. It frightens me when I hear of requirements for these programs. I am frightened I won't make it.
And Dr. Love, I got you beat. I'll be around 30 when I get my PhD. See you there ;)
