I'm not great at science either. I understand it, but I never wanted to study it in depth. The better the science teacher I had, the better I did. I had a great biology teacher who is the reason I will never get a tattoo (don't ask) and an amazing chemistry teacher (she was up for Maryland state teacher of the year a few years after I had her; that's how good she was). But my physics teacher wasn't as good and I struggled. You saw my post about how lousy I was at engineering. I would not have passed had I not found a smart partner to help me out; I got As mostly because of him. After junior year, I didn't want to take science. In college, the science I took was the history of disease because it was less science and more history. Then I took Earth and Space science as my lab so I wouldn't have to go to class on Fridays. The space stuff was interesting, but geology isn't a real science. Doing math is my job now, but there's a lot of people here who can tell you about the whining that went on during statistics in college. Accounting and algebra make sense in my brain. Statistics...well, that was partially the professor, but I never got the point. I actually had to get tutoring for that class.

Beyond that, I also can't draw (I got special permission in middle school to double up on music, so sixth grade was my last year of art), and I'm a terrible dancer.

Everyone has different skill sets. Being able to socially interact and having high emotional intelligence is also a good skill to have. Not everyone has that. I don't, which means there are quite a few jobs out there that I might otherwise be qualified for, but don't want to do.

Also, high school matters very little in terms of long-term life goals. I recently found a report card from high school where I got a C on my physics final junior year. I realized that all in all, it didn't matter. It actually didn't matter at the time because my grade for the year was set, so there wasn't a point. My SAT scores no longer matter. That B in health no longer matters. I know it feels like it's the most important thing now, and it should, but some day, it won't matter.

See this is the stuff that I love about this thread. It is the people like you and all the rest of the ones that post here that even though it racks my brain what you all are saying it is really all meaningful stuff and that really means a lot to me. I talk to my parents about this stuff too and it is one thing getting advice from your parents, but getting advice like this is totally different and I really appreciate it from every one of you. I really mean it. I do hope you all are still here to carry me through Chemistry and Trigonometry this year. :) I am going to need it. I may come on here and be a total basket case so watch out. 🤪

For me I love drawing and Art and well you know I love Dance. Singing I can do and hold a tune, but I just don't have a strong voice. I like it though. I also like performing in the musicals. In some ways I wish I was an adult, but whenever I say that to my mom and dad they always say "be careful what you wish for. Being an adult is a lot harder than you think it is. "
