Smunira, if you came to me and asked to be excused from the consequences of actions you chose, on the grounds that you expect to make better choices in the future, I don’t think I would be inclined to give you a break.

If you could show me that you had done the best you could, and if you could give me a reason to believe that you would be able to do better in the future, that would be different. But you seem to be saying that you were given a second chance and you didn’t care enough to use it to get good grades in all of your classes. That doesn’t inspire confidence that you would care enough to make the most of a third chance.

I think it’s time to get a job and earn enough to pay for one or two classes of community college. It would give you a chance to show that you can succeed and it would probably make wasting your tuition money a less attractive option. Then when you’ve shown that you will make good use of your own money you’ll be able to make a better argument that you are worth someone spending their money on you.
