Geez, it's been awhile since I've been on here. Well, my 17th birthday passed (was last week), and I can officially say that I've been on this Earth for 17 years. Pro: I'm legal as a Harry Potter Universe witch [oh, gosh, I'm so dorky], Con: I need to think about colleges.

I've always liked science and the medical career track, but my grades aren't so hot. Last marking period, I got C's in everything but Phys. Ed. and English. Chemistry is difficult, taking both Geometry AND Algebra 2 is frying my brain, and I shouldn't have taken the Honors History class. I really want to go into science [preferably a Biology field] and I liked the idea of being a cardiologist, but my grades are average and how would I be able to get into medical school when I get a C in Chemistry and my math classes?

::EDIT:: Just a question (heart related), when any of you enter a hospital, does your chest hurt? Really bad? Lately when I visit my grandfather in one, [he had a stroke] my chest hurts. Is that just me being nervous, or something else. It never happens when I go to CHOP [my cardiologist's there], but it always happens at other ones.

Jamie - Stress can definitely make chest pain worse. When my dad was dying last year, my chest hurt worse than it had since I had my myectomy. After it was over, I increased my meds, and it helped, so if it continues, you might want to ask about changing your meds around.
