@MyDisplayNameIsKari of course you are going to feel pressured. its a major step into the unknown you are facing. avoiding it will just make it worse though. try to muster your energy to deal with it and focus until its done. school is important to get a good job that pays well. this is the whole point. to qualify yourslef for a better job than a minimum wage job and hopefully one that you will enjoy doing. work can be fulfilling and very rewarding or a miserable experience of drudgery and bad experiences. try your best to avoid the latter.
@MyDisplayNameIsKari oh she knows your feelings alright.... All she wants is you to succeed in your life. There are a lot of things that she can't or won't explain you for obvious reasons.
My story, my father put me in a different college, but I wanted to go to where all my friends were. In the end I scored more than my friends and started working way earlier than them.
That time I felt just like you, but realized later that it was for my own good.

maybe shes trying to toughen you up. you cant expect to be babied in life as an adult. obviously she wants you to go to that school. weight your options. see what programs they offer. compare with teh other school you have in mind. she must be recommending the EAC school. she wouldnt if she thought youd have a bad experience there. mayb eit would be better. take a look. i know its scary and confusing and big decisions and everythign but whatever choices you make now are important. make them and confidently hope for the best.
eta- you also seem to be worried about not qualifying. maybe have some trade school ideas in mind in case you dont get accepted into the colleges. just take the tests prepare for them as best as you can and if you dont pass then you dont pass. you just pick yourself up and do the best that you can. its not a reason to get down on yourself. learn to roll with the punches and meet what life deals you with a positive attitude.

Sounds like she is trying to motivate you but doing a bad job of it. Getting a degree in something these days is the minimum for job applications. Bachelors or Majors.
I don't think the school matters one bit, but maybe where you are it does..
One thing for sure, if you do not do it, you will regret it, especially if mom is paying, you may never get that chance again in life.

I don’t take it against my mom because I know she has a point. She just wants me to be strong since her experiences are very different from mine.
That's the answer. Don't hate her. You'll realize it way later in your life
