I'm scared :(

Published

My Grades are super horrible. I just took the SAT's saturday and I don't think I did good enough. I Also don't think I'll get into college or a Nursing school or become a Nurse. Nobody would accept a student with a low High School G.P.A. My mom told me if I didn't score high enough on my SAT's, that I can't move to Atlanta....

Don't worry. It will happen. Just keep your hopes and dreams alive. You will make it.

I guess it is time for you to get serious about your school work. If necessary, take a few classes at your local community college and take advantage of any programs they have that will help you learn to study and become a better student. Then, you can take the SAT's again and do whatever else you need to do to qualify for college.

Growing up can be tough sometimes ... but if you want to go college badly enough, you will find the discipline to do the work.

Good luck to you,

Don't feel bad! I did average in high school - GPA about 2.75, then went to college, quit going in the middle of the semester (didn't drop the classes though) and ended up with a 0.7 GPA. Needless to say, not too many colleges were knocking on my door - lol. However, I stuck with it (and it took a while because I got married and had kids) but I became an LPN in 92 at the age of 34 and in 1994 an RN at 36.

Then...I continued on and now at 47, I have an MSN and also a post-master's advanced practice nurse.

Please believe it can be done. My GPA is now 3.73 - still not a 4.0 but I can live with it.
