My grades aren't great right now and I am so scared of not being accepted to any colleges I apply to. I need to get out of this town, fast.
My grandfather gave me about $6,000 for college. He's done the same for all of my cousins/his grandkids, but I'm almost positive that the amount of money they received would've gotten them a bit further in college than what I got. College is REALLY expensive, especially with this economic depression we're having or fixing to have... whatever, it's coming, if it's not here already.
I don't think my parents realize how scared I am of not being accepted. They both went to university --UNIVERSITY!!-- and the same is expected of me. I wish I was slow like my brother, so they didn't expect much of me.
Everyone keeps saying "Oh, you can always go to Midland College..." It's not for me. I would feel so bad about myself for going to a community college. Like I couldn't get accepted anywhere else; like I can't afford to go somewhere else. I don't know. It's a good school, it's just not for me.
People keep telling me I can't live my life in fear, but I'm pretty sure they have nothing to worry about like I do.
This was not originally meant to be a big whining post, but that's what it turned into. Sorry!!

I was scared too Paige, really scared. And not to make it worse for you, but it's scary when you're in college too.
You can pay for college and you can get accepted. You just have to be willing to work for it. Scholarships are out there and though student loans SUCK, everyone have to use them.
Believe me, from a current Freshmen in College - it's do-able.
thanks jessica!
i miss you.
when are you coming to midland?
