In 14 days I have to choose 1 or 2 courses that I wish to study to continue my university learning in Associates of Health Science and currently I have 9 passing credits but due to a plethora of problems my GPA average is 1.33. I have to choose at least 3 courses that I can do to up my average to get at least 2.0 GPA average to be allowed to to apply for a scholarship to pay for the rest of this and any future courses, but currently I have to pay 100$ per term of 9 weeks. When I 1st started I attempted 2 courses but found the workload was to much and only passed Online Education Strategies with a B- or a 2.67 GPA and officially withdrew from Introduction to Health Psychology. The next course that I passed was English Composition 2 with a C or 2.0 GPA and finally I took Greek and Roman Civilization with a B- or 2.67 GPA. I attempted 3 other courses but do to personal problems I failed or withdrew from these.

I have a laptop, a Dell Rugged Extreme Latitude E6420 XFR i7 2.8-3.4GHZ 8GB DDR 3 with a 240 GB SSD which I'm dedicating for university only, basically a work horse tank of a laptop that bounces when dropped. I may upgrade the SSD to 1TB but it matters not. Apparently I get access to Office Software to complete my Studies and any work that I do I will post on here for a second opinion and I would appreciate any and all criticisms or compliments as getting C-/2.0 GPA is passing and I'm aiming for B-/2.57 GPA as this is at least possible and like Jordon Peterson says, "Aim Low".

I must take these before I can take the "Majors";

Biology 1 for Health Studies Majors
Introduction to Health Psychology
Introduction to Sociology

Majors;

Biology 2 for Health Studies Majors
Human Anatomy & Physiology (proctored course)
Infectious Diseases
Nutrition
Health Science 1 (proctored course)
Health Science 2
Epidemiology (proctored course)
Human Development in a Global Perspective (proctored course)
Internship (6 credits)
Genetics (proctored course)
Psychopathology and Mental Health (proctored course)
Biostatistics (proctored course)
Health Policy and Management (proctored course)

These are the Electives;

Oral Health
Human Diseases
Health Systems and Structures
Community Health
Bioethics

There are other options but I do not wish to get a head of my self as my lack of concentration always leads to an overactive imagination but I'm told that if I am doing ok "B-/2.67 GPA" I may be able to do a Bachelors as the 1st of 2 parts is what I already covered.

Any way's, I get to pick my course or courses in 14 days with a start around the 7th of September so I will let you know, any suggestions are welcome and I'm a bit hazy on proper siting of sources so please contribute.

It's been almost 20 years since I graduated as a Practical Nurse. I remembered it requiring a certain mindset and passion on top of a discipline to survive the first term, I had my own emotional challenges too.
I hope you can overcome your challenges and find your academic groove @rooslootoo

Cheering you on!
