lots of talk about this on student twitter today so lemme just talk about how much i sucked at school. high school? genius. university? required to withdraw and had to do a special program with a degree transfer to get reinstated.
many factors led to me not doing well in university. like being 18 and broke. but man, it is an ABSOLUTE MIRACLE i graduated with any degree at all. who fails accounting twice? this girl. on my final attempt i STILL didn’t get it and my prof pity passed me.
i had to work full time to put myself through school b/c my newly single mom was not independently wealthy. i did school again a few years later and i totally kicked butt, but i was financially stable and everything was different.
in between school A and B, i ran a small business for three years! it’s still operating (just without me now). no one cared about my crappy grades, not a single person.
now i somehow have a smol license to practice law and a kickass job with a very gracious and generous bosso. who also did not care about my grades, but that i had passion & interest in what i was doing (maybe he will tell me this is a lie when he sees this lol but doubtful)
you are so much more than your grades, and when you leave the all encompassing bubble of school? no one cares that you sucked at managerial accounting.
it’s gonna work out for all of you.
