22M It will sound really sarcasticaly, but i truly think i ruined everything i had to do.
The title is conceptualized in way to let people know there are people in much worser position than me. But i still think i'm on way to realize i my young days will be sacrficed for nothing. Just wanted to get out from generational poverty to end up in job market where it will be expected from me to be a superhero just to get a job in a country where unemployement is barely standing at 10% only since most people work in outsorce factories as cheap manual workforce.
I'm was born in Belgrade, Serbia, the capital of most corrupt country in Europe. I live in a very poor family, where only my mother is breadwinner for salary below national average. She used to work 3 and more jobs in past to keep up us month to month. We used to live in run-down house until 2023, so we had to heat on coal because other ways were unaffordable. Been isolated and bullied by friends for whole elementary school, bypassed mostly highschool experiences due to COVID, i started getting new friends at the end of highschool. But i'm still dissatisfied since i have difficulties with socialization, getting relationship, and teamwork.
Because i was fed up with living in poverty with semi-NEET family, since i was 13 i was doing everything in order to maintain my working habits, win prizes on school competitions etc in change for sacrficing emotional and social life. Now, i'm studying finance at University of Belgrade, and i'm member of faculty's case study team. I was twice awarded with 3000$ scholarship for top 3% with GPA.
Since these are my first serious experiences with business problems, i struggle with finding a good team and teamwork. The best ones got into their team and they don't want anyone else in their team. And in the end i ended up with a very bad team for doing qualifications for CFA Research Challenge. Not to mention i fell in love with my teammate before we got into the project. After one date i gave up from doing anything else with her until the CFA preparation is over. She was overbooked everyday so she barely had time to mess around with other people.
And i prioritized CFA over everything. In the end she suddendly stopped responding to me and other teammates, and days later stated she is leaving competition. It seems now everything is over since only me and her have been interested in competition. But in the end, i ended up lonely in this.
And i am guilty for that and i accept that. My life opportunity was broken up because of my wish to be with someone who share same ambitions with me. I don't have a friends who go out and mess up with other girls, only way for my case is to meet someone at faculty.
So, is there any hope for me to continue my studies and to get a good job?
