i am at the point of where it seems almost impossible to get into a good school. i have worked hard, academically and with my EC’s , but it seems like it’s not good enough. on top of that, i have not gotten any scholarships and have no other way of paying for college than with the money ive been earning which is not a lot. people tell me that the colleges will offer me a lot of money, but i know they won’t because there are so many other applicants that have done so much better than me.

it’s almost like- what’s the point of going to college when i know i wont get into the schools i really like and even if i do i wont be able to go because i cant afford it. i might as well just do something else because i cannot stay where i am and go to the community college here, ill be so unhappy.i might as well just work some more and go to trade school or something.

i could be blowing this all out of proportion…does anyone get where i am coming from though?
