Is anyone an older college student learning in a class with younger students? Do you find it makes/ doesn’t make a difference? Does anyone have an older student in the class they’re in? What do you think about it?
I know someone who went back to college last year who was 20 years old at the time, to do A levels. I can’t really go to that college as I use to date that person; people will only think I am stalking him, which isn’t the case. I just can’t get a job at the moment or be ready for work if I did get a job. So college would allow me to learn something and try and get a part time job as well. Instead of trying to find any job and hope I can give it a better go etc. I am not ready to go back to brunt of the working world just yet. I am 19 years old at moment and having extreme anxiety, low self esteem and confidence issues like most nothing out of ordinary but for me it’s hard. However the college just down road from me takes mostly school leavers. I would feel bad for going to college there but really it’s my only option. Every year I get the college prospectus but I didn't think I would be the right type of person for college or it wouldn't be fair on all the other people for me to go back, that's the low self esteem talking. So I never done anything about it and didn't consider this a real option for myself, but I want to go back to college but not sure if I would really allow myself to give it a good go or right time. I would like to do A levels myself in
- Psychology (personal use really, it may help me better understand myself and one T recommending it may be a good idea)
– English Lit/ Lang (always liked picking things apart and analysing text although my writing, spelling skills need brushing up)
– ICT (working with computers and computer systems always handy and I can generally pick them up ok)
– Travel and Tourism (I have never been abroad, wish I had the chance to, I have always loved learning about over cultures and this may help with people skills)
I would only do travel and tourism for 1 year as an AS of a A level and carry the other 3 over to the next year to gain full A level in them. That’s of course if the college accepts me or if I can bring myself to enquire about wanting to enrol late for this September. Things lately have all happened at once and now I need to act and actually do something otherwise I am going to be unemployed for a long time and getting stuck in a deeper whole then the one I am in now. Opinions please form anyone on my plan.
