Is going to Community College a failure?
Hello I’m a 18(F) going to community college in one week but I don’t seem to be excited for this next chapter of my life. I feel like a failure for going there and not a 4 year university like everybody else. My parents are immigrants and never got to finish grade school so I feel like not going to a big school for them will be a failure. I’ll say that I did kind of procrastinate a little when doing my college process but it was because I did not feel well mentally. And also because I had a discussion with my step dad where he said he was going to hide his papers when he did the taxes only to antagonize me and to see how I would do it on my own. Luckily my mom was able to help me by getting those papers for me to be able to apply for FAFSA. As well how after some time before I graduated they fought and were planning on going back so logically I wanted to stay here and I was even willing to get a second job to be able to care for my younger siblings if they were going to go back. But that never happened so after seeing everyone post about their move in date it kind of gets me sad that I don’t seem to be thrilled for the next chapter in my life. I had always wanted to go to my dream university 40 minutes from where I live but now I won’t be able to. And I don’t think I can transfer after just one year. Am I a failure or am I just overacting about this?
