All of my childhood life my father told me I was stupid, despite excellent grades. He just hated me and told me so when I was in my early 40s. So when I finished High School, I believed and was terrified of college. Counserlers at my High school kept encouraging me to go, but I didn t until a year later,
future 1st husband said "Well at leat go to a Technical college." Being Bi-Polar and suffering my first ral bout of severe depression, my grades were from one extreme to the oter. It took me four years to complete an18 month program. But I had a lot of emotional set backs.
It wasn t until I was 28 that my second husband encouraged me to go for my B.S. I completed a five year prgram in 1 and a half yrs. Other end of the Bi-Polar axis. I was the only white student at a Black Univ. I was ignored,abused, laughed at and insulted. I did it, but didn t feel welcome at Graduatio, so I didn t go. Didn t tell anyone like your supposed to that your re not planning to attend, I wanted it to screw up their roll call and the fact that by now, my ex-husband was Vice President would embarass them even more. Thats as vendictive as I get, no more.
Make up your mind what you want for your self. Think about what you ll put on job appications in the immediate future...when you check offhighest grade completed. If that doesnt matter to you, then stop worring about it and get on with your life. A lot of successful people, i.e. celebrities, never finished high school or quit college in the middle. Be all you can be on you own terms.
