I was in community college trying to at least get my associates in liberal arts. My first semester of college, I got into an accident and wound up failing one of my courses because I missed the final exam. The next semester came and I had a full course load, including a foreign language. I did alright, not my best work ever, but I failed Spanish. So I started over in French I in the Fall. This time I did excellent. In the Spring I took Biology I and French II, along with ye other courses. I struggled with both Biology and French, but passed both. I found out that French III and IV were not offered at any of the community colleges near me, so I would have to start all over again in another language. Not only that, but the Biology course was so taxing on my brain that I really wasn't sure I could do it again. The textbook was the main problem: it was so technical that it was hard to comprehend. I really wanted to take the in-class version but because I work a full-time job right now, I couldn't. So I think I'm giving up. I feel so bad but I'm not sure what to do anymore. I want that degree, but is it really worth the effort?
