High
school senior here. With wildfires and earthquakes,
decriminalizing AIDS, recognizing non binary as a gender, as
well as the high cost of living and everything listed here,
I've really considered leaving Cali behind once I go off to
college.
I'm
conflicted though. For one thing, I live in the Solano
County area and went on a field trip to Solano Community
College. It was really nice. The cafeteria had great food,
and there was actually a very active campus life complete
with a cool looking bookstore where you could buy textbooks,
comics, supplies and snacks. Library was bigger than I
expected too and there's a gym and full athletic gymnasium.
Another
part I liked was what they offered in terms of the physical
education classes for kinesiology. I'm a martial artist (I
practice Judo) and they actually offered Judo classes as
courses, including an active Judo club that competes in
local tournaments. Since this would be part of my tuition, I
could then pay to start studying Karate on the side.
Another
thing I should mention is my desired career, which is
becoming a game warden . The California Department of Fish
and Wildlife seems to be based in Sacramento,and thus isn't
far from UC Davis, the college I plan to transfer to. I
figured this would be helpful in perhaps trying to get an
internship, since a game warden job is a pretty competitive
career.
I
bring all this because this is why I'm conflicted about
leaving here. On one hand, it definitely has it's problems.
But on the other, it's almost as if I have the perfect setup
for where I want to go in life in terms of pursuing my
intersts (making friends and pursuing martial arts), my
education (getting an associates in criminal justice and a
bachelor's in a biological science, required for game
wardens) and ultimately becoming a wildlife officer. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this
comes off as rambling, I'm just a 17 year old trying to
figure out the rest of their life.
