Girl let me tell you something. I was a mostly A student my whole life, honor roll from 1st grade to 12th EVERY SEMESTER, skipped 10th grade, graduated with honors. . .AND I'M JUST ABOUT TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE IN MAY AT THE AGE OF 33! I could have gotten a full ride and had my doctorate by now. But hey. Life happens to the best of us. Be encouraged!

[@estherbeamsforaballad3342]

Tiffany G wow! Thank God for victory! Your story would be captivating to hear. I can totally relate with starting off well. Mine is still in the making

[@TiffanyLecharn]

Tiffany G wow very inspiring. I just started going to college at the age of 30, sometimes I wish I would have started sooner because I could be good by now but like you said life happens to the best of us. Everyone's journey is different and I have to constantly remind myself of that.

[@atlsiren82]

Tiffany G Wow! It's crazy how similar our stories are... I just got my degree at the age of 33 as well! I got discouraged along the way but I had to finish for my sons that I had while I was in college. So encouraged to see someone else with a similar story! All the best to you and yours in 2017!

Tiffany Le'charn 👏

[@XDeCoDeX13]

Tiffany G omg I needed this

[@mikeyhope7577]

I failed 2 semesters in a row and lost my financial aid. I had seriously considered suicide because I thought my life was over. I screwed around at parties and with girls more than I studied and did homework. Switched schools, got my financial aid back and after this first semester I'm sitting at a 4.0 gpa. Don't give up anyone :)

[@kyrapeters114]

mike lambert advice pleeeaase. how did you get the motivation ?

[@mikeyhope7577]

Kyra Peters Idk if anyone can ever give you advice on how to get yourself motivated. I just looked at my future and saw that I would be poor, miserable, and terribly in debt if I failed school. I didn't want to give up and be a failure. Just find whatever drives you and focus on it. If you want to be in school and want to be successful, you'll find the drive one way or another. If you don't want to be in school and hate it, maybe school just isn't for you. And that's okay. Not everyone needs to be in college to live a happy, successful life. Just do you, because in the end, you're only trying to improve yourself one way or another.

[@wildnaturalista]

School isn’t about learning anymore just is about passing that’s all it’s just terrible

[@annabella9378]

Thats what I say. We don't actually learn and grow our knowledge anymore its just about barely making it and passing exams that wont even have an effect on our lives. Big exams maybe but I am only 13 and have huge exam blocks every semester and I have the stress of a college student. That's not ok.

[@HT24.]

Annabella I’m 13 as well and I agree that school pretty much is just showing up and doing work. They want you to make friends but when you talk to your friends you get in trouble. Anyways I don’t really like school lol

[@annabella9378]

@@HT24. That's so true. They talk to us all the time about being social and making friends but the classes are dead silent and we can't even interact. Honestly I have learned more off the internet then what I have at school so far.

[@lifestyle6993]

for real

[@Random_AnimeWatcher23]

As a freshman in highschool right now, (I go in person tomorrow) but even online school. I have to constantly worry about my grades and make sure that I pass. It's stressful for a social anxiety and Adhd person.

[@janessacompere]

Getting an education should not be this stressful.

[@prettyinpink8662]

Janessa Schwarm but it is for some people, it's not as easy for everyone.

[@janessacompere]

Teeny tiny Little life oh girl I know haha it's not easy for me at all and I think that's not right. There's too much pressure. That's all I meant :)

[@CR-ce5lf]

Honestly it shouldn't!!! Which is why I left college it was seriously taking a toll on my mental and emotional health I couldn't take it

[@janessacompere]

Christal williams yeah college is definitely not for everyone. Some people go, just to go and don't even know why they're going. They just end up stressed and with MAJOR debt. Society has made it such a big deal to go to college when it's so not necessary for everyone. There are so many things wrong the education system here in America. We definitely shouldn't take the opportunity we have to learn for granted, but there's no reason it should be THIS emotionally challenging for basically every student.

[@janessacompere]

lovey agreed 👌🏽

[@luceymajor]

I hate when parents put pressure on their kids to follow what society thinks is normal.

[@stanloonauglies9358]

So true

[@jakelester470]

luceymajor Well then deal with it. My parents put pressure on me all the time and i get very stressful, however, theres always a message in the back of my head saying that they are doing this to help you.

[@Bunnywunnyem]

luceymajor my perspective on it , is that many people want to live that "classic rich life" where you graduate , go to college, get married and die with a genetically impossible husband or wife. for one I don't like how society brainwashed us with that lifestyle. Many of us are forced to go to college because our parents want us to go. You shouldn't go if you aren't desired to go just because your parents tell you to. If you want to not go to college and become a singer or do something else go DO IT. ITS NEVER TO LATE. Many of us say "I wish I could do that or blah blah" , but instead of wasting your time just go ahead try to find ways to find out what you really want to do or you want to do. {sorry for my rant it just pisses me off seeing how we are pressured into going into college}

[@pupbun]

luceymajor Parents don't try to put pressure but if they do they just want you to be successful in life

[@jaysondemarco5263]

we all had this mentality back in the days😂 no matter how much bs you make its gonna be like this. dont see why you waste your breath

[@mscardioqueen]

You're still graduating. You're NOT a failure! You didn't give up, you're still in school. You're NOT a failure! You persevered (that alone is an accomplishment). You're NOT a failure! You're only 23! So, you fucked up a little bit. That is what being in your 20s is all about - ups and downs (life). You're going to have hiccups in life, so enjoy the ride. Pick yourself up, and keep it moving - you did that and continuing doing it whenever you encounter something like this again. That is one of your many life lessons.

[@mscardioqueen]

I was thinking that too. I forgot to mention that in my post. Exactly, she's doing better than most people her age. Lopi, don't worry yourself. You will. I believe in you and as long you believe in yourself anything and everything is possible.. :)

[@MisBlackMutilation]

mscardioqueen yeah she really is! lol me and my friends are stuggling, most of my friends are in college plus I felt bad because I picked a trade school first along with being looked down on and I graduated this year from trade school and final got a job that pays pretty good so I can pay those loans =-=. I feel like we put college over everything but failed to see that it's so much pressure on young people because people feel like it determine whether you're worth everything or nothing. I want to go back to school for a 4 year for engineering but I'm scared of the dept and not being able to find a good job so I kinda planned work get all the experience I need then go to school.

[@mscardioqueen]

@ MisBlackMutilation You felt bad for picking a trade school? Whaaaaat? Trade school/college/university - it makes no difference. As long as you choose to do something that you are passionate about then do it. Trade jobs pay well! I wish I could pick up a hammer, saw, or do welding, etc those jobs pay over 30$/hr - those are specialization jobs. I know people who do trade work, including my brother and he loves it. Me, on the other hand, I just don't have the patience. I would rather hire you. Not everyone can do it. I admire you more because you're a woman practicing a trade - in a man's domain. That is an excellent idea. Now your educated, you have experience and go into the working world and get real world experience and yes when you are ready go back to school and get your engineering degree. Nothing wrong with that!

[@MisBlackMutilation]

mscardioqueen Thank you! :) I only felt bad because trade school are looked down on so much. I went for computer networking and support tech since my main field I want to be in is technology. Definitely right on the "mans field" nothing but men in my class only women in there! Passed on top and received the reward for my major. Even though I don't make 30/hr (I wish) for my first real job with only a couple day out of school I got a job starting at 17/hr full time and I'm praying I can handle it when I start!

[@daughternumber5444]

[@ebonyepisodes197]

This happens to young people all the time. When you're in your 20's you are still figuring things out. I have friends who couldn't finish college for different reasons. One of my friends got pregnant our sophomore year in college, had her son, and still graduated with honors. I barely made it through college because I mostly hung out with my friends and was lazy. I had to go to summer school. I only graduated with a 2.2 GPA. I was told by my professor that I would never get accepted into Grad school because my GPA was too low. Guess what? Five years later I was accepted into grad school and in 2014 I graduated with my masters with a 3.8 GPA. So just because we make mistakes doesn't mean we can't recover!! Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 years to graduate college and that's ok!! Do things at your own pace!! Good Luck!!

Don't stress. College is pretty awesome and I go to one of the most difficult schools in the US. Everyone can make it through if you study something you're passionate about and actually do the work. Doing the work is the most important part, the school is not trying to set you up for failure.

[@yjadalyn1]

Yeah it's awesome.. until the bill comes.

[@aahsimovieprojects]

Pick a major that is practical and will earn you a decent income upon graduation. If you don't have the help of your parents or grants from the government, then go to a public school within your home state. Ta da problem solved.

[@ifrekele297]

You are better than me. I broke down crying because you had the courage to tell your parents. I’m in the same boat. I just turned 25 last month. I’ve switched schools 5 times and each time I would have to retake something that I had taken from the previous school, because the credit didn’t transfer. I’ve been in college for 7 years now trying to finish my bachelors. I haven’t told my parents the situation I’m in and they think I’m in school but I’m not right now. I was on academic probation and then I got suspended for a semester and then I got suspended again for a year. They have such high expectation of me and I also have 4 younger siblings. I feel like I’ve failed myself and I’m a failure to my family. My boyfriend knows my situation and a few close friends. They are very supportive and they encourage me to go back. This spring I will be able to enroll for classes again. But I’m terrified guys. What if I fail again? I do study and ask questions. My major is mathematics. I’m not terrible at it. I do know there are others that are smarter than I am, and I love that because I usually go to them for help if I don’t understand the instructor. I think I’m just not confident in myself. In high school I did so well, in community college I did very well too but when I started going to my university… I really don’t know. I do miss the professors from my previous university. They actually wanted to help and even when I showed then that I know nothing. They never made me feel less of myself. My dad wants me to graduate before he retires and moves back to our country, and my mom she tells all her friends about me and she says all these nice things about her brilliant daughter. Every time she does that I always want to stop her from praising me because I don’t deserve it. I’m sorry for such a long comment but I’ve been keeping this bottles up and after watching this, I felt like I should say something. I do need to tell them. And guys, I literally have 4 classes that are preventing me from gradating. These 4 classes I keep failing. Number theory, Abstract algebra, Statistics/ probability & Math software and applications. Each of those classes I have taken at least 2 times. I think 2 of them I have taken 3 times. I don’t get those classes. I’ve gone to study hall, I’ve had tutors, help from friends and the professor, Help from KZbin and the internet, Self-study sessions. I don’t know why I fail those classes. I want to graduate so badly, but I’m so scared. My younger siblings are in college as well and they have some struggles too. I feel so bad because how can I help them out when I can’t even help myself. I just feel like I have dug large hole and I’m stuck in it.

[@yallhearsome8349]

Ifreke Thompson Oh, girl. I know that you've heard this, but DON'T GIVE UP. You are a beautiful person. Maybe it's the stress that you have that is making you feel bad. Don't listen to it. Work if you can talk to your mother about your situation, always struggling with stress and keeping everything to your mind it's not healthy. Talk to that specific person (your mom) to relief yourself. Your mind has to be in peace to work on what you want, love yourself. Sorry for the long comment. 😊

[@bonbonvrock84]

4 more classes. I know you tried a lot in the past. But please don't give up. Tomorrow is another day. This time might just be it. Keep talking with your teachers and other TAs and find out that other than stress what else is preventing you from doing well. You're not committing a crime, you just need a bit of time.

School puts so much pressure on kids at such a young age, I was in class the other day and the whole class was failing because they gave up, everyone gave up, including me School is literally a prison (I’m not trying to be funny)..... school is a prison where we work for 7 hours straight and even work at home (homework), when we get something WRONG the amount of pressure the teachers give us is horrible, they just expect to put your education in front of your mental health and that’s not right, it ain’t right ....

I have a very close friend who flunked out of college. He didn't tell his parents. He had a job (not related to his major) lined up across the country and left pretty soon after graduation (the school we went to will allow you to participate in the ceremony if you already registered to partake and you failed a class in your last semester). Usually, the school will mail the actual diploma to the permanent address of the student -- which 99% of the time is the house you grew up in, where your parents are. Since my friend had an older sibling that graduated from the same school, his parents began to wonder why they hadn't got the degree in the mail. They asked and my friend said he changed the permanent address so he'll be getting it. At one point, his mom told him to send him a picture of his degree and he very sloppily faked one on Microsoft Word and snapped a super blurry pic of it on his phone. She seemed to buy it. Even though not having a diploma wouldn't affect his life in anyway -- since the line of work he's in doesn't require any form of degree -- he decided to sneak in an online course 2 years later and complete the class he failed to get that diploma. When he finally got it in the mail, he worked his magic to very meticulously alter the date on the diploma to change it to the date when he should have graduated 2 years prior & then framed it. He gave it to his parents and they have it hung up on the wall none the wiser.

I remember that feeling. I started to think of myself as a professional student. I started college in 2003 and didn't finally graduate until 2011; went to 3 different schools! I was a college hopper. I just couldn't get it together. It's during this time that you start discovering and thinking for yourself more than ever and sometimes we go down a rabbit hole. With strong hands, you can climb back out of it and get back on track. It led me to where I am today and I couldn't be happier with how my life turned out thus far. It's all a journey.

That was the only way for me to end the charade of lies But till now haven't gotten the admission yet.

It's honestly so sad how the american system is. Like don't the upper people realize that there is something wrong with the school system, when kids are crying themselves to sleep and feel so pressured and begging their parents to not make them go, that there is something wrong. Cause i know there is a way to make school enjoyable and still be able to learn, but no we practically feel trapped inside, and whenever we say something society just says "it's ok everyone goes through it". But no human should feel that way, school shouldn't have to weigh you down and pull on you mentally and emotionally. I know a person who almost killed themselves because of school, because they just weren't happy and it was making them emotionally damaged. That's not healthy. I'm going to 8th grade soon, and i honestly feel like i shouldn't be so scared as i am. It shouldn't be like this at all. It's horrible, and it needs to stop.

Reading the comments and watching this video breaks my heart.. truly. This is the reason why people hate school. They put way too much pressure on you and when you fail, you're assumed you won't do good in life. Especially when your parents are in on it too, giving you shit about it. It's not fair really.. it's just too much sometimes. I've thought about giving up so many times just because my mind simply stresses about school 24/7, even on days when I try to relax it's "oh did I forget to do something?" Or "please let me pass this test" and it's just horrible.. I hope things work out for all of you.

[@julisacastoraznotaries5015]

I am an honors student but I've chosen to take time off from school because my parents basically chose my degree for me and I was expected to follow in my sister's footsteps with pretty much no say in the decision. I realized I have no idea what I would even do with my degree and that there was no passion. I worked so hard but was miserable and on anti depressants to cope with the stress and pressure so I'm taking time to find out what it is that I want for myself and what I'm passionate about. I realized you can't force yourself to pursue something you don't want just because society says that's what you're supposed to do to be "successful." I will create my own success.

It’s been hard trying to keep up in school while going through depression but I couldn’t even bring myself to tell her that. But now I’m glad that she knows the truth because after I cried those tears I feel so much better and feel so relieved. I’m definitely gonna take this time and spin things around in my favor but that by far was the hardest thing I ever had to do cause I felt like such a failure and all she ever wanted was for me to go to college and be successful.

[@somethingspecialxox]

Girl... Let me tell you something... I'm 23 now, so this was probably 5-6 years ago, during my first year of college. I was so unbelievably depressed and stressed out right at the beginning of the year because my mom was in the hospital basically on her death bed... I quit going to classes about 2 months in. I had my boyfriend at the time picking me up an hr into my school days, every day... and then he would drop me at the hospital when I was supposed to be done school and I'd tell my mom that I'd gone to classes and whatnot. I still went occasionally and handed in assignments here and there but all of my tests and exams were pretty much all failed, and I knew that going into them. The day I got my letter saying I had failed all but two of my classes, I was absolutely devastated. Not because I had failed, but because I had to tell my mom about it. I told her that night when I went to visit her at the hospital. She didn't yell, she wasn't even mad. She took it as calmly as possible, I think because she understood what I was going through. Fast forward a few years, I have completed 2 programs, graduated both and am working a full time job. And believe it or not.. I have FULL intentions in going back to school within the next year or so. You can do it girl, you WILL do it. It will take time and motivation, but you'll get out of your funk. It will be okay 💖

Hi I really hope you're doing good

[@datboi2058]

I feel you man I hope you got through that

[@bobbyjones7884]

Teachers: grades don't matter until college. Highschool: A highschool diploma is all that you need. People: highschool grades don't matter. Also people: I don't have a college degree but at least I have a high school diploma. Also people: took 10 years to get a 4 year college degree. Teachers: Sometimes it takes 6 years to get a 4 year degree. Moral of the story, people learn at their own pace, isn't that what school is for, LEARNING? I don't know this lady, but I think she is a smart, beautiful, tenacious person who shouldn't give up. So what she didn't graduate on time, that doesn't mean she won't graduate at all 💪. Good luck to this woman and try again!

[@poet82n]

Girl it took me 10 years to get my firs degree and another 2 years to get my Bachelor's. Don't worry....yan still do it. I even got a chance to study in England for a year and travel throughout Europe all paid for. I talk about it in my new book to help students over getting through school. Hang in there.

[@couldubeloved1]

Can you post a link to your book, I would love to read it!

[@poet82n]

+couldubeloved1 Absolutely. Thanks for your support. Check it out with this link: www.amazon.com/Scholarship-Thief-Toi-Nichelle/dp/0978681762

[@poet82n]

+couldubeloved1 And just in case you have problems with the link just go to Amazon and type in my title: The Scholarship Thief.

[@poet82n]

+London Peach Awesome. Thank you so much for your support. Yes. In my book, I discuss the challenges of overcoming setbacks in undergrad, overcoming rejection, essay writing, getting recommendation letters etc. I also talk a bit about my journey and the things I did to turn my academic situation around. I even put a starter scholarship index in the back to get students starting to look at scholarship s and what to look for. Yes. You can apply to your B.A. as I have. For Masters you can appply the techniques but as we know getting your Masters is a different ball game and each program is different. Thank you so much for your support as I continue getting my book in the school systems. Hope this helps Toi

[@poet82n]

+Chris Thomson Hey. I just released my book, The Scholarship Thief, this August. I am a English Creative Writing Major. I have my A.A. and B.A. and currently pursuing my Master's. I'm in my early 30's. It's never too late.

[@VaeBae5]

Girl let me tell you im 22 almost 23.. i graduated high school 2 years late! from there I went to college but during that me and my mom faced eviction and being homeless so i missed a lot of classes on top of that by the time we had a stable place the school year was over! I jst recently told my mom I failed it's all about how you turn it around baby girl👑 I'm going baby for spring semester to a security program to get my foot in the door💪🏾 trust me you got this😘 jst have faith❤️ I can't wait to see you make it bcuss i KNOW you are💖

[@JenniferLeeBeNATURALLYyou]

Man this post hit home for me, seeing this post gives me that extra level up in my confidence. The fall semester ended up being a great one and through moderately hard work I was able, by the skin of teeth, to get A'S and B'S. You are the strong one and through adversity you have prevailed, your right the turnover is what counts, so lets make it count :-).

[@queenzville]

Precious Brown I had the same problem with almost being homeless. It set me back so much and on top of that, being the first of my family to go to college, I was ignorant to a lot of things (which has also contributed to my progress). Seeing this video, and reading comments like yours really encourages me to keep pushing forward, because having a BA is something I REALLY want! Good luck to you! and thank you!😊

[@karlamendez9200]

Jennifer Lee I'm 32 and am just finishing my undergrad, headed for grad school. After highschool my parents put a crazy amount of pressure on me and I went to university for something I had no interest in and changed programs twice. I ended up going back to adult ed at 26 and got into the University I had originally intended on going to in another city. I was diagnosed with a learning disability and realized why I hadn't been successful before. I am passing my courses with A's and B's. You never know where life is going to take you, I'm glad you have supportive parents and that you have that strength to persevere. Keep working hard! Also to anyone thinking they are too old for school, take it from it and done let it be something you regret, just go for it!

[@daughternumber5444]

queenzville what a nice thing to say and that's great you didn't give up cause your not a failure your so positive and blessed 😃

[@daughternumber5444]

Karla Mendez this is the kind of word's some need when they think they have made a mess out of thing's I'm happy you decided to stay in school and keep on taking a challenge for yourself in the end you're going to accomplish everything you want because you have the your mind set up on what you want in life I am happy for you have a good one 😉

[@zoesather3215]

I needed this so much. Thank you. Im failing school. Im not going to graduate. You gave me confidence in myself. Grades should never define if a child is good or not.

[@ChaniceRich]

This broke my heart and I know exactly how you feel .. I'm almost 25 and I'm starting all over again... do what your heart tells you don't listen to your parents don't worry about making anyone else proud but yourself . One life and it's your life and honestly school is not for everyone

[@t.summers9220]

After raising you and u knew ur parents wanted u to graduate school it is very important and it does matter... it’s a great way to say Thank You to them. You can get through this n know that the standards of college can be completed. Stay strong.

[@madisonjohnson9283]

Wdym by " *don't listen to your parents like wtf* " !

[@nasaman23]

T. Summers I don't think so. They want you to be successful and there are ways to be successful other than college.

[@maxamedmaxamed2940]

@Bujun you know what since millennials are the most retarded generation I'm not all too shocked by what you said. Parents have no right to do everything for their offspring, parents have all the right to disown their children since time immemorial they have done exactly this and it makes biological sense considering by cutting yourself away from a self-destructive child is like cutting away a parasite. Parents have a responability only if that child is benefitting his parents. You are truly making no sense because for example if a child is in and out of prison is it really the parent's responasbility to still help out that grown man?

[@kimtaetae9941]

I'm in high school 11 grade and I can feel her, don't worry girl you will be successful

My fear is actually failure, that's why I have depression

Baby TAETAE preach 👍🏽👍🏽

[@dudzai]

so true like i get so scared of failure that i will literally cry myself to sleep until i'm able to do it, and i'm going into 8th grade, if i'm this stressed out i wonder how she feels.

[@Kim-co5kb]

KOOKIES AND CHIMCHIM girl, wait until you get into high school, it's stressful af.

[@strayvion808]

Consider it a good advantage. Being concerned that early on in life can be useful, specially since a lot of us don't realize the consequences till after high school.

[@SoulReaperSlayer19]

College isn’t for everyone! Wanna know why? I’m 28 years old, just graduated with a Th.B that’s a bachelors in Theology for you non title people. Fast forward a few years later. By this time I thought I would have a $30 hr job, house in the suburbs, cute wife, maybe a few kids and a dog or something. But I don’t have any of that! I just moved back in with mom and pop, wanna know why? Because there is not a high demand in society for my field which I chose to go into. Now all I’m left with is what could have been if I would’ve chose to follow my heart 7+ years ago Many people my age are finding themselves in the same situation because of college and the courses we choose to take. College really isn’t for everybody, too bad I had to learn that the hard way 😐

[@mommimommi5014]

SoulReaper- you are correct. It also depends on where you live.

[@plugthesnippet6583]

why would you major in theology???

[@jyneiqua2931]

I remember watching this video back in highschool now I’m back watching and I’m in college having this same exact situation All because i failed ONE class 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@LeSweetpea]

I'm 21 rn, I spent 3 years in CC instead of 2, and I'm going to spend 2 years at UCLA so technically I'm graduating a whole year later than my graduating hs class of 2013. Everyone finishes at their own pace. One semester later is not bad at all! I'll be 23 when I graduate as well.

[@cynthiaj4357]

im on the same track. no shame! at least we will get it done!

[@mikexcanxjerk]

LeSweetpea well that's the average at a CC is 3 years I'm guessing you came from SMC, it's all good , it's better to pass a class then take a bunch of classes and get C's on them ..

[@sugarpugs3157]

LeSweetpea oh hi I watch your videos 😂

[@LewdcHAN]

Yeah this spring makes my third year at CC and I got all A's and B's. That's actually pretty normal because in order to get out in two years you'd either need to take 6 classes per semester for fall and spring or do 4 classes fall and spring and one summer course and one winter course,

[@LeSweetpea]

Cynthia J Exactly one year longer or one semester later is not too bad! You only get to do college once~

[@Max-pz3wl]

Man this is why I aint tryna go to college

[@selenalamothe997]

Can you tell me why? I'm curious

[@Max-pz3wl]

Selena Lamothe I'm just afraid I'm also afraid that I won't be able to afford it I'm not the smartest kid so I feel like I will end up maybe dropping out you know and since I am in a less fortunate family I would need to get a job right after highschool that can help my whole family

[@selenalamothe997]

Maxptv That really sucks. I know someone who told me she isn't going to college because she has to stay and support her disabled sister and her mom. I really feel for people like that, the people who have to stay behind because they need to help their family or just don't have money. See, I was pretty scared of applying to college because I really want to live in the woods. And I know that if I get a bunch of student loans I won't be able to live in the woods because they'll want me to be paying money. I'll be in debt to them. So I prayed about it and God told me that if I just finish my senior year in high school strong, he'll make a way for me. So if he said it, I can't doubt it. I went to pre college last summer and I had no money at all, yet God made a way for that to happen. So I feel your fear. I totally understand.

[@Shilpa1974]

Maxptv same I ain't going to college it's too hard

[@selenalamothe997]

***** Where are you going to go then?

[@thesigmamale1720]

"KZbin must be trying to tell me something..." 😕👀

[@MrSpeedyAce]

For MOST people, college will be necessary in their life. The statistics of our current job market say that in order to be anywhere near competitive, you need a college education. That being said, I totally understand the frustration you must feel. I remember that I made poor decisions in college. I didn't get properly guided and I took the wrong classes. I was the first one in my family to attend a University and so my naivete got the better of me. I took classes because my roommate took them. I had no idea there was a curriculum that I had to fulfill. Long story short, I had to tell my folks I wasn't graduating when we had initially thought. I had about a year and a half to go! I got the nastiest scolding from my mom. I felt dumb and stupid for not being smart. But somehow, I managed to grind out those final semesters and I graduated with a Biology Bachelors. Hang in there!

[@paperchasindude6578]

Bro I wish I was so smart

[@xzaveahhope9367]

It's not like you're not graduating at all, just 5 months later. You still good ma.

[@mosesmiguel6197]

admitting that you have failed and accepting is a success that will help you achieve more in the future. keep hat attitude girl and you will soar high. keep believing and keep striving for greatness. I salute you!!!!!

[@ML-pn7ns]

Am surprised to see that Jack changed my semester grade completely i was advice to leave the university frustrated and meet some fake hacker who scammed me until i met Jack who proved to me that they are still legit Hackers around. he fixed my school grade in less than 18 hrs.contact @jack.smith_07 on Instagram he is a genius

[@Luv2BeSkinny09]

Girl Do not GIVE UP. I just graduated this semester (dec.2016) and there was so many thing in the way that made me want to GIVE UP even in my last semester. But I push through . I was hospitalized in 2015 & the way I bounced back in 2016 is amazing. I am on my way to get my masters now. I just found your channel. Don't give up. You have a story to tell.
