High school Screw Up "Story Time"

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by X_AnnaGrace_X, Aug 18, 2016.

  1. High school wasn't the best time of my life I was going through a lot of medical issues at the time. I was hardly ever at school (one year I missed 82 days), and when I was at school I hung around the kids that just wanted to get drunk and party. Yet, I was a straight A student, president of multiple clubs, I took my SAT 4 times and had a 4.2 GPA. Life was eh.. I went through a phase where I hated the world, but what High school kid doesn't. I applied to many colleges and got accepted into almost all I had a full ride to the school of my dreams.... Well things took a changes for the worst in my life after my grandmother died. I am bipolar (not very badly), I reacted bad to it she was like my favourite person in the world, I couldn't adapt to the change and I quickly fell. I lost my full ride scholarship (due to a person I hung around), I went through yet another suicidal phase, and I felt like I was a high school screwup. I attempted to go to community college, and failed at getting aid/ or grants. My parents weren't about to pay for me to go to college. I was all alone on this.....I am trying to change my life now, little steps at a time. Please no hate on this post it was just a story time.
     
  2. Is this a real story
    Taking the SAT a lot of times isn't a good thing
    How did u miss so many days and keep a 4.2 gpa
    What was your full ride scholarship for

    I have so many questions
     
  3. Yes this is a real story, please feel free to pm me if you want me to elaborate more.
     
  4. Become a sugar baby marry rich
     
  5. Ha that would be the life, I would reither be happy then rich anyday
     
  6. High school sucked. College is interesting. School isn't for me, I know I'll be successful, I myself want to start a business, but school is my plan A.

    Try to find something you like,
     
  7. Being rich makes it easier to be happy
     
  8. Deja vu...

    But anyway one thing I would stress is that college isn't the most important thing in life. It helps, but for the most part it's just a traditional thing.

    I'm pursuing a career in computer science and software development, and one thing my professors stress to me is that college isn't absolutely necessary.

    It's good, but you don't need it. Anybody please feel free to correct me.
     
  9. If you're not good at computer science and you Want to make a lot of money go to college
     
  10. I'm pretty sure college is the opposite of making money.

    But that's assuming you HAVE to go to college to be good.
     
  11. Tbh not really sure about the cost of college cuz mine is free but I feel like unless everyone's lying in the long run its better to have a degree because higher paying jobs usually require some speciality
     
  12. Haha I want to be a doctor and I don't think someone is gonna let me diagnosis them without a degree.
     
  13. It depends on what country you wish to practice in.
     
  14. Good Ol' Merica
     
  15. You could do it illegally for poor people
     
  16. I feel really bad for you. I'm sorry. I hope things will get better.
