common asked question i have ‘is it worth it?’

I got accepted but i currently live in NYC with my mom, the living situation isn’t ideal but it’s my home. While I have family in florida I can stay with while doing the dcp which eliminates the roommate stress… there comes new stress with staying with my family in florida.

sooo ive been debating on accepting the offer for a few reasons:

  1. i don’t know what i want to do with my life and college (ive been in college for 5 years now and still don’t know plus mental health issues have stunted that part of my life) so im worried this might push me back even more (itll take me 2 more years extra to graduate with just an associates if i accept the offer)

  2. a silly reason but im also visually alternative looking.. i know i need to give it up because dyed hair, a bunch of facial piercings and stretched septum’s is not the disney look. (i would repierce once its over)

  3. is it even worth it? will the experience outweigh the idea of having to give up my life in nyc for a few months? like it wont impact my resume in some amazing way if i dont have a career path? will i make friends and new experiences? or is this just going to be a headache.

i honestly just signed up because my family kept pressuring me into doing it and i had zero faith in getting accepted because im not the most outgoing or bubblyish person but they accept everyone it seems. i dont know if this is something that’ll help me grow or if the program will do the opposite. which is the last thing i need from this experience.
