Someone who occupied a slot, who doesn't want to be there and blocked someone who truly wanted to be there. It was stated right I am quitting. With a lot of time to think about the decision, that was made.
I think that was a little harsh. These are kids, and they can watch every show on the SA's, and attend SS, but it is different once you are there. To believe that these kids are not like traditional college students is insane. They go with an expectation, and for some that expectation does not meet reality.
This child, and yes, even at 18, they are children, is already hurting and living with fear/doubts to criticize them is not what is needed at this time. They need support.
Thatguy,
Go home with the knowledge that your parents will not love you less, nor will they be less proud of you. You did the honorable and mature thing, by admitting this isn't for me. It takes a lot of inner strength to do what you are doing, knowing some will pass judgement on you without knowing you. Understand some people will want to know why, and it maybe hard to explain it at first, but in time you will find the right words.
In time your life will fall into place, but be ready to give it time. This is probably the 1st time you have truly faced adversity and now you will need to figure out how to work through it personally.
You will not be the 1st to leave, nor the last. Most classes graduate with 25% less than they started with 4 yrs earlier.
As a taxpayer, thank you for not wasting my tax dollars on an education.
As a parent, I would rather see my child happy and taking on debt, than them unhappy for a free education.
Good luck in your future.
