Rejection
So I know writing this here is a bit funny, but here I go;
I got rejected from two colleges because my grades were too low despite meeting the basic requirements and I feel miserable right now.
I studied science for my first year, but my experience was miserable and I ended up failing most of my classes. Which is funny because I thought I was so prepared when I finished high school. I had good grades, but in college I struggled with heavy anxiety and depression that lead me to think I was dying half the time so I barely went to my classes. My mom also got shot my first week of starting so additional stress.
Then I switched to art, because I loved it and it helped me so much, but I dropped out my second week due to too many changes in my family life. The dynamics were changing and it was getting worse and worse. I worked for a while, until I went to another college to study design, I think I wanted to prove that I was a "good" student and capable of doing something. Not being a screw up. My first semester went extremely well, I had no grades under 90. But the second one I fell apart. My mom suddenly left and nearly got killed in our country of origin. She left me with a man she didn't love anymore. Next thing I knew I was taking care of my little brother. My loans were going to feeding the house. I was stressed out of my mind and I dropped out to find work.
I wanted so bad to restart studying art. I loved it and that's one of.the only thing regret in my life. But I screwed up and now I don't know what to do. No school would take a inconsistent student like that. Im turning 21 next month and all my friends are in school and I'm falling behind. Most of them will get there bachelor's soon and I don't have anything to show for myself. I also want to study a subject thats not even in a good place right now with AI and the state of world. My dream seems so far right now. I'm really such a failure...
Hey. The fact that you wrote all of that down, shows that somewhere in you, there’s something worth protecting, encouraging, empowering, and defending. You have strength, but don’t know how to put it into something that you believe you can trust, because you can’t trust yourself. Take small steps. Organize your goals first so that you can’t...... 1 reply
