I felt bad because I felt like a belonged in an university instead, i worked so hard in High School to just end up in CC. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong attending a CC, but maybe i wouldn’t have stressed so much in school trying to get all the classes required for university entry, I also didn’t have anyone to mentor me and tell me i could get scholarships n such to help me pay my way to college, i just wanted to do everything on my own.
In the end, I did pretty well my first yr in college, got discourage through financial obstacles and my social life, slacked -off by taking fewer classes. My mentally was "Why rush in to graduating when I wont be able to work after!" BAD BAD BAD! I regret it now... I would have graduated by now if I hadn't dropped-out.
Now I made my life even more difficult, got engaged, had 2 kids (age now 3 and 21 month old), separated from the father (douche thought I wanted to marry him just so I can get my papers and then divorce him, so I left him). Now I’m a single mother, working as a secretary for a Fencing Co., thank goodness I at least have a job, and now getting ready to go back to school in the fall. I am determined to finish school and become a Neonatal Nurse, no matter how hard it will get, it might take me a while but I owe it to myself and my kids.
