groovygirl92 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Hellloooo everybody. I'm a member of LDS church and have been for my whole life of 17 years. I love being a member. I'm currently trying to decide where to go to college. It's a big world out there and I have NO clue what I want to do. I absolutely love science, but I don't know what field to go into. My friends describe me as a Molly Mormon. I'm fine with that and I take it as a complement. It's hard to be a youth today, but I know that Heavenly Father has put me here in this time because he knows I can do it. I don't really have any best friends, I'm friends with everyone. Soooo, this is me.:) Quote
Maya Posted November 22, 2009 Report Posted November 22, 2009 Hi and welcome Groovey Molly! It is not esy to find out what to do for the rest of your life as a profession. So officially: Welcome to LDS.net. You will find here an ecclectic mix of LDS and some non-members. While the site is dedicated to the Gospel, and to promoting the Church to a world that often does not understand us, we also make room for conversations about current events, and about social and cultural practices within the Church. If your main desire is to learn about the Church, consider starting with the "Learn About Mormonism" forums. For more advanced teachings, that will often include a variety of perspectives, some non-LDS, consider the Gospel section of forums. While you are welcome to all main sections, be aware this site makes room for a variety of opinions and personalities. Some posters can be passionate about their views, and occasionally more so about them than about the souls of visitors. If you find something particularly offensive, feel free to make a report by clicking the appropriate tab. Quote

Soooo, this is me.:)i'm new, but, i suppose not too new to welcome you.since i have been to mucho mucho college there are a couple of things i can say that might be of help.you have to be kind of careful because there are science classes you can take that don't transfer that well or help that much toward a degree. the first thing you will want to do is to find out what math prerequisites are necessary for the physics, etc. that are universally transferable to any college and meet the requirements for any degree. these should be the same science classes that would be necessary as pre requisites for things like engineering classes or maybe something like pre-med.another class that is good to start with is english composition which is going to be a requirement anyway again making sure that it is the one that will transfer to the 4 year college you will want to go to and fulfill that requirement. you need that because you will have to write compositions for most of your college classes. it also is good because it teaches you organizational skills.i would also recommend speech and debate as well as critical thinking (which is usually under philosophy). those should give you a good base to start from and you haven't even had to begin to think about what you want to do.i have been reading a good book lately called achieving your life mission. it's a great book and should be available at deseret book.anyway, welcome and hope some of what i've said will be useful.p.s. i would also recommend starting at your local 2 year college because it's cheaper and you can get the basics out of the way there. beside that, going to a university straight out of high school is a big jump, and that makes for a nice transition.oh and almost forgot--unless you are really already very computer literate and good with microsoft office applications, it would probably be a good idea to take a beginning computer class that teaches computer basics and how to use microsoft office applications.
