I recently dropped out of my program at college. (I was in the social service worker program). I had completed just one week of school and realized it wasn't the program for me, so I dropped out. I feel like a failure because I don't think I gave it a fair enough chance.. but the longer I would wait, the less money I'd get back for my tuition.

I dropped out because I knew deep down that I never even wanted to do this program in the first place. My passion has, and always will be, for English and writing. Looking back now, I guess I was 'pressured' to take the SSW program because I wanted to please my parents and it was a quick two year program with many job opportunities. I was planning on being a peer support worker, specializing in anxiety. And I may have very well been good at that (as I have much experience dealing with anxiety).. but I just wasn't happy. Everyone was so passionate about the program, the courses and wanting to be a social worker.. but I wasn't. I was just doing it to please my family and never even really wanted to go into social work.

So now, I am hoping I can get re-accepted back into the university I went go several years ago (never finished my B.A.).. and hope that I will be able to finish the English program online. The only thing is, the University doesn't really specialize in online degrees, so I don't even know if I can complete all the required courses online. I'm started to second guess myself about the SSW program, and maybe I didn't give it a fair enough chance. But whenever I think of the ideal job, it always comes back to writing. I just hope I can find a way to finish my English B.A. online or else I will always feel like a failure for not having completed school
