Fast forward to this year. I get to retake the classes I failed (I am not retaking all of them this semester, but I will end up retaking them). I get to learn again, and I get to feel better about myself because I am learning and pursuing the degree that I want. I am going this time for me, not for everyone that thought I should go just because I had a scholarship, This is what I want to do, no, what I need to do. It really makes me happy to be able to make something of myself and do something I enjoy.
My major is computer science, and hopefully I am able to learn all of the math that is involved with that major. I am 35 years old, and they say learning is harder when you get older. So far, college seems easier to me than it did 17 years ago. They hold your hand for a lot of things now, and actually help you if you need it. The professors/teachers don't seem to be bothered by a problem now like they used to be. They want you to succeed. Maybe if they would have been like this the first time around I would have stuck with it.
I have only been for 2 days, but I am completely loving it. I really feel like I belong now, and doing what I need to do to be happy.
More on this later, I will keep everyone updated.
