I will have to take ENG 091 Fundamentals of Writing ESL 097, RDG 091 College Reading Skills or RDG100, 111, 112, 113 Successful College Reading, MAT 081, 082, 083, or take the Arithmetic test. ENG of course stands for English, RDG of course stands for reading, and MAT of course stands for Math.
I am very worried about taking college Algebra because I really suck at math and I don't understand the math problems that have X - 3y= 5y or whatever (that was just an example). I went to college once before when I was 23 years old, I am now 26 years old. My past college experience I dropped out of college because I was soooooo stressed out and emotional I couldn't take it. So, essentially I gave up after only passing 2 classes which were Math and Ecology I believe and the first day I was in the 3rd class I got really emotional and cried outside the door of the class and then went to the person in charge of the school and told them I wanted to drop out. I was even about to get a job working through the school. I have high anxiety and thank God I now have Clonazepam I can take for anxiety. I also am easily triggered and can cry at every little thing sometimes and have cried in front of people before. I got a book from the library and a couple DVD's about math. Math is my weakest point when it comes to learning. I'm very afraid I am going to fail my math class when I start college. I have no worries about Reading Comprehension or English really except with English I have forgot how to write essays. I'm hoping they can transfer the credits from my old school to there. I really don't know what is going to happen. I'm afraid I will drop out again and I don't want that. Oh and I am trying to be a Vet Tech that's what I want to major in. Someone please help me feel better about this big decision. I just don't think I will succeed this time either. But I have wanted to work with animals since I knew what a Veterinarian was. I don't want to give up on my dream. If I get through college and I become a Veterinary Technician I hope to go on and become an actually Veterinarian.
I have quite a bit of learning disabilities I think, I don't have proof of that but I don't know if I can get help for my disabilities in school. Does anyone know if I can get help for my learning disabilities at the school?

Hi
I also was a poor math student when I went to college .
So I took a basic math course first went for Extra help and found a tutor .
This really helped me . I kept the tutor for algebra also .
I was 25 when I went back and I was a social nightmare .
Good luck
