Sometimes fear can be the best motivator.

Your parents, in my opinion, shouldn't dictate your future, especially your college education! Most universities offer counseling and psychological services (I am currently using this myself), as well as a health clinic to get your chest pains checked out--AND they work with almost any insurance company.

I encourage you to check it out! If you have the counseling services, that will reassure your parents that someone will be watching your health and helping you recover.

Good luck!
