After I graduated high school, I went away to college, and failed miserably. I felt so bad as to why I couldn't get through school. But then in time, I took a step back and realized everything happens for a reason. Sometimes college isn't for everybody, but I was determined to go back. I just had to figure out what I really wanted to do at my pace. Eventually I went back for my degree in psychology and I've been successful (graduating this fall!!). All I can say is don't beat yourself up if you're not successful right away. You can do what works for you.
