im nona on last page trying to register for college and also i just realized how inadequate i am compared to all the other students at todays orientation

almost all of them were fresh from high school and had AP classes and sports and other electives

i struggled in school from middle school all the way to 12th grade and the only time i got any help for my MI was after i attempted suicide in 11th grade and the school was forced to acknowledge i have ~issues, which basically meant forcing me to drop AP classes i was taking and all the electives i was taking to shove me into alternative school and forget i existed

like they wouldn't even consider that maybe i really want to do these AP classes for college credits and they wouldn't budge on looking into schedule differences so i could still attend at least one of them that i really enjoyed, they said if i want any accommodation i need to drop all my plans and electives and go to alt school

and then they didn't even count after i graduated, none of it was kept on my fucking record because i never finished the classes

i just needed to rant about this sorry, it makes me feel like such shit

dang your school doesnt have a welcome thing for nontraditional students? tht rly sux nona

u should make it ur goal at that college 2 bring it up 2 the designers.

no it doesnt, they have one orientation for everyone. there were a few other people who weren't 18 but most of them were also returning students or coming in to get a work certificate since they're unemployed after having careers, i was the only one who has never been employed or gone to college until now

i will try to bring it up maybe when i go to talk to this person about students on disability tomorrow

yeah. ngl its tough for non traditional students but i hope u find supportive ppl <3

ty c: <3 there's probably groups in the college for that, there's a group for disabled students i'm going to attend

that sounds gr9 nona. hope u lots of fronds. there probs is a group like that

i'm an adult student who went to college late bc of mi and <3 hope u well biba, u are gonna do great

ty biba :c <3

its just, i used to hate myself a lot for being ill and thus doing so poorly in grade school to the point i thought trying to enter college was useless

now its more like i am so so angry i didnt realize how shitty the high school was until 3 years later and i cant do anything about the damage they caused me academically and mentally
