Hi,
okay so I never really got what people said when they told me college isn't for everyone until I joined. Now i'm starting to understand it really isn't for me, but college is compulsory. I lack motivation to do my courses, I don't particularly enjoy any of them, one of my biggest regrets not taking courses for me personally but for my education. I didn't always feel so negative towards college, at the beginning of the yr I put effort in but despite my effort I was only getting at the best a C grade, and that was going from getting a* in gcse to C's in alevels, I know the grade boundaries are different when it comes to alevels but my parents don't understand all they see is the bad grade and therefore are disappointed. My teachers constantly tell me i'm dumb and one even tried to kick me out of his course for wasting his time. All I did was get a D in my very first essay. Then for one of my subjects I lost my coursework, and had to do 4 months of work within one. I couldn't handle it, lost the will and consequently my teacher got my parents involved to the point where I was going into college on holidays. Then after all this I came home from college one day to get shouted at from my parents to say they had a call home from my college saying I could not come back next yr. I felt like all that work went down the drain. Also i suffer from bad illnesses, so i miss a lot of college meaning i struggled to keep ontop of work. Even though i notified my college at the start with a doctors letter that this would affect my attendance, they tried to accuse me of lying about my sickness and bunking. Now i don't want to go back next yr, but my parents seem to think if i don't that is the end of all my prospects and wont get anywhere in life. I need help and guidance big time! Thankyou!
