School and 24

Being 24 and trying to go to college is tough. I'm starting college at a point where most people my age are graduating college, or they are going back for Masters. But I went to college right out of High School from 04- o6 and totally BOMBED out. I didn't go to class like I was suppose to...like a typical 19 year old!! Not to mention my drive time was toping out at ((45 minutes)) 1 way to sit and listen to a professor talk about MATH...my least favorite thing to do after being out all night. I managed for a little while, but soon realized, so I though, that school just wasn't for me...I struggled with school my entire life!! I had problems focusing, I could read a problem 5 times before I would actually get what was being said or asked!! It was hard...and of people would be cruel about this disorder. To this day people make jokes about it, I brush it off...but its not easy being looked at as an idiot. But I'm going back to school and I finished my first semester back at College this past spring! I took Art, English and Psychology...which I made and A in! Go ME!

There are a lot of things people don't know about me, and just because I have to read a sentence more than 1 time before I truly understand it, doesn't make me any lesser of a person! I really hate to know that there are kids out there that have this disorder and that people target them to get there laughs off of. But I was lucky...I had a great family who always supported me and who NEVER gave up on me...College isn't for everyone...no...Its expensive and its very time consuming, but with the right support system anything is possible!! You have to give it your all, you have to go beyond your comfort zone because its not going to be handed to you, you have to go for your own dreams...but you can enjoy the view along the way!!

But School and 24..who cares... at least I'm trying, its never too late to pursue a degree!!
