I'm 17, and am going to my local career center for Industrial Electrical Engineering.?

I will be in IEE for my junior and senior years of highschool,(which starts August 19th) but I am so afraid that I will fail. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it all, I'm like considering dropping out and doing homeschooling. I have such an opportuntty to do something I love and have a passion for, but I almost don't want to because I am afraid I just can't do it. I even have the chance for some really good Scholarships at OSU, where I could fulfill my dream of Aerospace Engineering, but I'm so afraid I could fail and be rejected. I'm sorry for ranting on, but I don't feel comfortable with talking to anybody I know with this.

    You will never know what is possible unless you try. I have failed at many things during my life. Failing gives you an opportunity to determine the cause of your failure. Many of us have different ways that we learn. My best way to learn is by a real life example of a specific physics problem. There is no shame in failing, as long as you continue searching for new and different ways of meeting the goals that you desire. Asking others for help may give you an opportunity to understand something much better. I also used to get sick to stomach by worrying about might happen. My suggestion to you is to not let fear and your feelings prevent you from meeting your goal. I know that this is not easy. But it is much better than looking 10 years from now wishing that you had become an Aerospace Engineering. If you need someone to talk to, you can contact me at the following email address.
