Needing some encouragement?

[5ummer]

So, basically I went to a state college my first year in college. Then I bumped around and never took it seriously. Because of this one developmental class I never finished I got on academic probation for a year. So I transferred to a community college (which has been a great idea). The way they take applicants is through the lottery system but they are still competitive. Well when I started I took four classes during the semester I suffered with depression. So I quit showing up it effected my gpa. When I retook the classes I took only one or two per semester. But in my English 101 class I received a c and my basic anatomy and physiology. Which isn't exactly a&p it's just a preview class. And my psychology class I received an A. In my developmental math classes I received a c. Those classes don't transfer to a four year university except psychology. Sorry about the long read. I just don't know what to do in this situation. My counselor said I still have plenty more classes to take and I can do good and redeem myself. But those classes also give me points toward the lottery that I'm not gonna get now.

I am not sure you need encouragement. You need to understand if you earn poor grades in school or use excuses then you won't accomplish anything. No one is going to hold your hand and make life easy for you. Take advantage of your youth and opportunities! Getting through school is a challenge for everyone. I lived in the crappiest apartment ever and ate one time a day. You say you "don't know what to do about the situation"...well..who created the "situation"? You did. You earned the poor grades. You can feel sad about it or learn from it. Obviously your study methods are not working. You have a choice. 1. Give up. 2. Study harder and learn from your mistakes. Having people say "everything will be ok" won't help anything. If you are so depressed you can't do your schoolwork then quit school and get help. Or don't. It is up to you. Good luck.
