i started university 4 years after graduating high school.

ive been working for 4 years it took a lot of convincing myself to go back and when i finally do, it feels like i have no support. my own mother doesnt support me, shes says i should just work because school is too expensive. 12 days into my first semester and I’ve broken down twice. maybe school isnt for me. i envy those who’s parents expect them to go to college/university… i wish my mom was like that.

I waited 4 years to go to college as well. I supported myself through college without the help of family. Best possible thing you can do is absolutely ace your first year. Work harder your freshman year when classes are easiest, because this was two fold for me: 1. You start off on the right foot, establishing good study habits, strong work ethic, and a great GPA. and 2. After your stellar freshman year, you can apply for scholarships and actually get them. you’d be surprised how many scholarships are out there and people just don’t apply. After my freshman year, my tuition was completely subsidized by scholarships and federal aid.

It is possible to support yourself through college. You can do it! Have faith in yourself.
