Love help: I’m a girl, im 17 and soon 18, my life has never been perfect - Help.com

if your grades are shakey then improve them, if you love something that much nothing will stop you. but you have to lay ur foundations before u start building ur empire

If you grades are not good enough to enroll in the college or courses you want, you start by going to a community college and and taking the basic courses and bring your grades up. Then the next college will look at those grades. And you can always add a letter in you application describing your life experience and why your grades were not good. And If you have a teacher that will confirm you have the ability but because of family situations you were not able to apply yourself. It could help too.

thank you very much, I got a letter today showing me about the universisty it offers a foundation level, and i want to say, im going for it eithen if they still laugh at me!

=) i want to say thanks

i’ll build it up :) and get out there ill try my best its proberly all i can do.

We can do any thing we set our mind to doing. (Except change another person. Only they can change themselves.) You can make your life what you want it to be. You just have to decide this is what you want and focus on getting it.

And stay positive in you thoughts.
Confirm daily that you can do this.
Thank yourself every step of the way.

Like getting this letter today. Thank your self for requesting this information. It makes you one little step closer.

And going for something you are passionate about is like your life calling. If you have a passion for something, there is a reason you do. It is like you are being called to it. Don’t let bumps in the road stop you. Let those bumps make you stronger. And remember to thank your self when you get pass a bump. Sometimes the bump can be a hill or a mountain. But you can get to the other side side of those too.

You can do this. You were made to do this.

Never let anyone tell you what you can’t do! You can do anything you put your mind to. Congratulations on taking the first step!!!

You can do exactly what it is you want to do. It is the right of human existence. Grades are shakey now but you will be in an environment you will be able to control at university. Can’t study in your dorm go to the library…. find study tables, study partners. if this is really what you want, you will do it.

Please rememebr that people who say that you can’t do something are usually people who they themselves can not. Misery loves complany and people are always willing to ask others to join them in theirs.

i left my “small” town and did something totally dfferent hten everyone else. I do not believe I am better then anyone else BTW. I live in a country club community, ,my husband makes over 6 figures, my home is small compaired to my neighbors but 3 of the homes I grew up in fit in my house. I had a different path then those who stayed and I made sure to stay on the path and live my life to its fullest. I had plenty of nay sayers who are stuck in the same place I left them. No need for me to be unhappy and say shoulda woulda coulda when I had the power to do it. this is the same for you

You go and be who you are and be happy. You can do it!

Dont give up! I know it can be hard, but you are so lucky you know what you love. and you know what you want to do. You are passionate, and if your willing to work for it, Thats all that matters. If you dont get accepted to the college, go to a community college and bring up your grades. and then apply again. I hope you get everything you want, good luck :)

it’s not a stupid question at all, anon. if you don’t get into the school you want, enroll in a community college. even if they don’t have the major you’re interested in, remember that the first couple of years of a BS or BA degree is your “core curriculum,” the basic courses. just find out what core courses will be needed for your major. improve your study habits, do well a the community college, and then transfer to the big school and go for your dream. you can do it.
