Guitar Courses Reviewed: Most Aren't Worth A Lick!

I kind of screwed my first year and a half up in high school. Will I be able to get into a good med school?

I really didn't care about anything my freshman year of high school, skipped class every day, failed just about every class except Biology, and Lit. Around the beginning of my second semester I got kicked out of all public schools for a year, and got screwed over on a lot of my credits. I made up a couple classes at summer school, and got just BARLEY enough credits to be a sophomore.

Here lately though, I've kind of had an appifiny, I've been dating a girl for about a year now, and I'm almost positive she's the one. She told me she'd rather have me stop smoking that green stuff, not really a threat to the point where she'd break up with me, but she said she'd just like it better that way. I did the right thing of course, and quit, I wanted to quit for myself too though. Every day when I got off school it'd always be about trying to find out how I could get stoned that day, and I'd just get really baked, eat a lot of food, and pass the fuck out. Wouldn't even be able to do my work, wouldn't even care to. I got to thinking… smoking every day kind of just makes you a little stupid, and not even care. Well, at least for myself, I can't speak for everyone, I have plenty of friends who smoke and have pretty good grades… not the best, but better than mine, they had like a's and b's. But they didn't really smoke as heavily as me… man… I was high just about every day for the past two years. Really disappointed my family when I got kicked out of school, poss of less than 1 oz. yeah. lame. But now… I enjoy school. I love doing work, I want to do good now, want to have a future for me and my girlfriend. She said her dad's current girlfriend had dated a guy since freshman year all the way up to senior year and he just didn't have a future for either of them. She loved the guy, but she did the logical thing and had to end it. The last thing on the planet I'd want is to lose her. So, I really had a kind of realizing that I really needed to grow up and get my life together.

Now, I'm just worried that I'm not going to have a good future for us that I've fucked up so badly my past couple of years. When I was kicked out of school, I didn't even do a god damn thing, didn't get a single credit the whole year I was out. I tried to to an online schooling course that was offered by the panel I went to for my "hearing". I just couldn't do that stuff, I need actual hands on teaching, just couldn't do it. I used to be in all gifted classes in elementary through eighth, but when I was introduced to drugs… I just stopped caring. Thinking now, how childish, how stupid… Always the panic of driving around with bud, the fear of getting arrested every time I saw headlights in my rear view at night. I'm really relieved I've quit, things are really starting to brighten up for, I've gotten a lot of new interests, i.e. guitar, reading, even poetry… stuff I never thought I'd even attempt.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm venting, just trying to give you guys my background, hoping I can make it. :x I know I could have a's and b's if I really tried my full potential, I've always been a smart kid, just kind of lost my drive to do my work.

I only have about a 2.2 gpa, which is pathetic. >_< I just talked to my counselor last week and set up my classes for my junior year, I'll be taking intro to healthcare I, intro to healthcare II, American lit, geometry, physical science, chem., American govt, and econ (provided I pass all my courses this semester, which I'm pretttttttty sure I'll be able to). I'm taking SIX academics and only two electives, my healthcare courses. I really enjoy the field of anesthesiology. And I really would like to become one. My grandparents are pretty wealthy, my grandpas an accountant and since the day I was born he's had a college fund for me, so money really isn't a problem for me for college, which I'm so stupid for not taking advantage of that when I had the chance. But I'd like to take all the classes I could in high school to get ready for med. school, I reside in Georgia so, I'd prefer to get into a college near my family and my girlfriend, she wants to go to University of North Georgia, major in psychology. I've heard wonderful things about the pre-med programs offered at UGA, can anyone enlighten me as to if that's the right choice? Also, what would be the best major to take while in the premed program? I'd like to do a little more than the bare minimum, so when I try to get into a good med. school I'll have something that they could look at, I'd imagine Chemistry, Biology, or Psychiatry yeah? I'd only want to take one, two just might be too much for me, though I'm still a sophomore, so who knows. And I'm wondering some good classes to take while in high school, to get a basic knowledge of anesthesiology and medicine. And I was also wondering, is it required that I take AP courses? And when I do make it to premed school, should I be worried about taking Honors courses then? I've yet to take
Oh… yeah… Should've probably put college rather than med school. err. >_<

But additionally, what are the requirements to be accepted for UGA's premed program?
The bottom kinda got cut off there too… After UGA, what would be a good med school to consider going into? MCG seems a little far fetched, but Emory University seems like the right college for me. What do you guys think?
… one more thing too. ha. I'm really not freaking out that bad, I just really want some advice from experienced people as to how to get on the right path. I'm not going to lie, anesthesiology is a lot of hard work, a lot of school. I know I want to do something in the medical field, numbers and science are my strong points. I know I'm going to go through pre-med, and after that attempt becoming an anesthesiologist, but I won't lie, I'm not a genius, heh. Just say it's just too much for me… what would be a good career to look into with the knowledge I obtained from premed (biology, anatomy, physiology, not really sure as to what math courses to take yet) other than anesthesiology, you know, just to be safe, should always have a plan B.
Oh, and about that plan B, I wouldn't really want a annual salary less than $200,000. heh. >_<

I partied more my first couple of years of high school more than worrying about school too. It seems like your head is in the right place, so just devote a lot more time to school. If you make all As/Bs, it'll do wonders for your GPA. Then, you will be able to get into a better college. After you're in college as an undergrad, your performance in high school generally is irrelevant. So, after that you'll just have to do awesome in your undergraduate program to get accepted into medical school! Trust me, partying is fun and all, but you can find the perfect balance where you can still do well in school!

& as for UGA pre-med program admission requirements, it varies from school to school. First you have to get accepted into the college, then usually you take your core classes and apply to your program during your sophomore year

&I'm pretty sure your major is Chemistry if you're doing Pre-Med.

I would try to take Physics &/or Anatomy & Physiology also, since you'll have to take these in college and will be much, much harder. You don't have to take AP courses, but if you pass the exam, depending on your score, you may receive college credit for them.
