My life up until this point has been one ruled by fear, isolation, and depression. Only recently have I begun to finally overcome these issues, including my depression. I now see the value in life, I now know how to truly appreciate every waking breath I take in the peace and comfort of my home, but I still am afraid.
I managed to get my GED with honors, and I figured out what I want to do with my life:
Programming.
I absolutely love programming, I've been doing it as a hobby for 7 years(I am 18 and a half), and I want to go to college to get a degree in Computer Science and do it for the rest of my life.
But I'm so afraid.
I'm really afraid of failing the TSI exam(Texas College's have this accuplacer esque test you take that determines if you need further education in an area before going to full on college), and if I pass that, I'm afraid of being a shitter at the math they have in the class.
I have always struggled with math, but I managed to power through it in the GED. In 3 months, I went from a stupid dumb lazy faggot who couldn't even do long division or multiply anything higher than 11, to an aspiring faggot who could go algebraic equations and quadratics.
I've kind of forgotten a bit of algebra, but so far it's stuck. I really have issues with Geometry.
I know it's not big deal if I don't get a high score on the math portion of the TSI exam because I"ll just be put through math classes, but fuck, I don't want that. I want to go to Comp Sci classes as soon as I can and start getting an actual degree for this and go into the real world with it.
>TLDR:
Has anyone here taken the TSI exam and the GED test? Are they similar? How bad is the math in Comp Sci?

>programming for 7 years
should just make a portfolio and find a job desu
im sure you'd be fine in school. just brush up your math on khan academy

Well most of my programming things up until this point have been mostly small projects. I have been exposed to a wide variety of frameworks and languages over the years and learned alot of different concepts and put them into action, but I want to have some official education as well. I already have a portfolio up but every job search I go to requires a degree. I would also rather just experience life for once. I wanna go experience college.

>7 years programming
You have acquired a set of skills, why not immediately find work and use them to make money? Comp Sci will require a plethora of math classes to take. A brother of mine took compsci, most of the math he did during his undergraduate years involved mostly calculus from what I remember. Review your weaknesses in math and simply exercise your weak points. Math is a skill just like any other, if you do not use it you will lose it. You are young, and you are already way ahead of the game compared to others your age. You'll do fine.
