Where did I go wrong?
I had an appointment with my college adviser to make sure I'm on the right track to graduate (two more quarters and i'll be done!!). Everything was going great; I was talking to her about my possible plans after I graduate and she seemed as stoked as I was until....she decided to rain on my fucken parade! I am aware my g.p.a is low and I am also aware that graduate schools look at our grades and our GPA. I have come a long way for someone that doesn't even know me tell what what I already know I need to do in order to raise my GPA. She said "I see that you are really serious about graduate school but we need to work on this " *pointing at my GPA* and I told her that I was aware and that I was pretty close and to that she said "well 2.89 is not that close, you would have to get straight A's to get to a 3.0 at least.." REALLY??? REALLY??? thank you so fucken much for have a little bit of fucken faith in me. I gotta say, i feel pretty fucke proud of myself as I have come a long way and I'm still here and graduating pretty soon. I must be doing something right, don't you think? Well thanks very ,uch for making feel like shit as if I didn't have enough with how hard I am on myself. I am not afraid to say that I have failed many classes. I am not afraid to say that I have struggled and I still do. College is not easy. Please put yourself in my shoes (if you don't go to college). Things don't come easy to me. I am not smart, I just try my best to learn and get by. As of now, she crushed me but if I know I want to go to graduate school then i fucken will because i know what i want to do with my life.....I still want to know how I've made it this far but at times it doesn't matter. I have failed and I am not scared to say it. I just wish people wouldn't be so judgmental. Just because I am in college does not mean I am perfect and it does not mean I know everything. Be kind to one another, support one another. If you have friends/family/relatives in college and are or are not struggling just support them and be there for them in their journey. Being in college has made me grumpy, sad, anti social, tired, physically and spiritually weak/tired and I am trying to make it through and I've been doing a good job at it, I just don't let people know how I feel. My parents don't know and neither do my brothers and even close friends. I am alone in this journey (in a way) because at times people can't really understand my pain and what I am going through. All i know is that I am doing it and I am truly trying :)
