To graduate my high school, I only needed three science credits. Considering that I hate science, I picked a super easy science class my junior year, thinking that I just wouldn't take a science class my senior year and have an easy schedule. I thought it was a pretty good idea, but my parents literally forced me to take a science class senior year. They said that I needed to because "colleges like to see four years of science on applications." I wasn't happy about it because the only science classes that I could take were Anatomy and Physics. I didn't want to take Anatomy because at the end of the year it was mandatory to dissect a cat, and I love cats too much to take one apart. I didn't want to take Physics because it just sounded like a hard class. But everyone I talked to said that Physics was mostly math, and I'm good at math so I just went with that. I was not looking forward to it, so I walked into class in a really bad mood on the first day. But after the first week, I kinda loved it. At the end of the quarter, I got my report card and I ended up getting an A (and that was kind of a big deal because I literally suck at science). It was then that I realized that I want to have a career that involves Physics, so I decided that I want to be an engineer when I grow up. If it weren't for that class, I don't know what I would be majoring in right now.
