Hi there! I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but im trying to figure out what i want to do in college. I want to either do soil/plant science or horticulture, but im having a hard time narrowing it down to one of those. I like the thought of working at a plant nursery, plant breeding, checking someones soil to see if its good, solving diseases, and things along that line. The thing is that I dont know where that falls into and I was wondering if anyone could help me?

Recently I’ve been wanting to get more into plants and take it more seriously. I’m not a college student and I don’t have any experience other than normal gardening but I was wondering if internships would still accept me, since I don’t really know much. I’ve seen some people mention working at plant nurseries or volunteering so maybe that will work too??

I’m moving to Germany soon so any advice would help since I don’t know where to start and any sort of input would help and be greatly appreciated.

I feel really disappointed because I feel its a bit unfair. I have never touched a bike before taking the class and I feel as a beginner its to be expected to drop a bike. I dont know how to ride. One of the instructors even said, “if you dont hit a cone every now and then youre not trying hard enough.” Is it crazy to expect the same for dropping a bike?

And please dont go saying that “motorcycling isnt for you.” Ive been wanting this for years and I have a bike sitting in the garage waiting for me. Its just hard to understand why after 2 drops you just cant continue anymore. It would be different if i crashed into someone. It doesnt help that I am a smaller woman so trying to catch the bike mid fall is a lot harder for me. I was just wondering if anyone had the same kind of experience, sorry long post.

Edit: Someone made a good point about the instructors. I am NOT blaming the instructors. I cant see what they do, and theyre simply doing their job. They were all really nice towards me and supportive. Plus before even touching the bikes they made it very clear to not drop the bikes so idk its a very strict rule. Its just the fact that i absolutely can not drop the bike more than 2 times. Even if it was an accident or i slipped i simply cant brush myself off and continue because they consider that as failing.
