College Advice (Help needed PLEASE READ ALL!)?

[Rashad]

Hi everyone, *Sorry for all the grammar mistakes*

I am a senior at Bronx Center For Science and Math and plan on going to college (Hope). I already met with my guidance counselor and she just blew me off really. It seems that if you are not Spanish you are on your own to her. My other counselor he just went on about college life and answer NONE of my questions. Now i am not saying i am the best student but i really did work hard during 9th and 10th grade to maintain my 70% overall average and in 11th grade i had a 75% overall average. This year for the first two mark periods my overall average was a 85% and a 86%, I am starting to do my work because i finally started to care.

Sports management and Japanese are the only majors i am looking at. Guidance counselor from my sister school gave me his opinion and said "Sports management is a new major really , you should try and build your own major in sports management. Maybe start off at a 2 year college with business and do something like law school."

Not going to lie but i have been a "mama's boy" for all my 17 years and even though i know i will have to move on one day i just don't think i can make it on my own if i move away for college so SUNY schools are out of the question.
My mom said she doesn't want me to go to CUNY school because she feels that i will be in an environment with kids who don't care about education. It doesn't matter if i do go to a CUNY school as long as i have choices i am fine.

For most of my high school i did nothing, to be honest i should have never put BCSM as my first choice but there is nothing i can do now. Japanese was the only reason i came and my school had no extra activities to do when i asked Mr.Tom(principle) freshmen year. We just got our library up and running but it is already too late since i am a senior. Our sports team are full of Spanish people who cuss in every sentence that comes out of their mouth and like our guidance counselor "your not Spanish, get out."Only one club i was in and that was Build-On where we volunteer such as cleaning parks up etc. So no extra activities really...

I should have try and improved my SAT grades but i didn't: (took only once)
Critical Reading:370
Writing:520
Math:480
1370

My classes so far and grades: Marking period 2 only
CONC PHYSICS 91
PRE-CALCULUS 81.2
CUNY MATH T1 92
GOVERNMENT 86
ENG 12 LOGIC 79
SOCIAL TOPICS IN THE MEDIA 85
JAPANESE 4 HONORS 87.2
Overall Grade (not including 12th grade 9th-11th only) 74.58%

I don't know if you want my regents grades as well just ask i be glad to provide them

I attempted to look for sports management colleges in NY but all the stuff i find on google are worthless sites trying to get you to buy books that talk about sports or just provide reviews about the major and give no colleges whats so ever. My sister is going to graduate Fordham University so i took a look at that college and saw they do offer business and Brooklyn College offers sports management. Overall, those are the only two schools i have actually did SOME research on.

My college essay is crap and when i submitted it into the college office at my school then picked it up the next week I had nothing to work on. She left "needs work, put in paragraph forms" and that is it -.- my second page had NOTHING on it. Rather than cussing her out i manage to just say "thank you" put a fake happy face on and walk out the door before i did some illegal stuff to her.
I want to change my topic, i wrote it on my experience of seeing my mother cry because in 7th grade i was getting kicked out of since all my grades were 55%. I was thinking of writing how it was a wake up call and that i am not a A+ student like my sister but that i will work hard to earn grades that are decent so that i will never be in that position again. Then since my grades have slowly improved reflect on what has happen in my life and why i started to do my work.

Sorry for all my mistakes in grammar and what not! I know it is a long response but believe me i really want to go to college and don't know what to do. I want to change my life and forget about my past.

Having no help from my high school is hard and it seems like my sister can't help me since she has her own work to deal with.

The only thing that is left is ask strangers for their opinion and what i should do and hope they are nice. So i leave you guys with this....if there is any advice, ANYTHING about college, majors, my essay, my grades, what i should do, etc. please let me know even if it is bad i am used to it. Again i am sorry about this being long but i have no choice. :,(

Let me know if there is anymore information you want. Thank you for your time.
We don't even have a yearbook so i am glad people won't remember me. Not to mention we don't know what our senior trip is and we just had a party that charged $10 to get in, and $2 to play games in our gym -.- (WHICH IS SMALL)
