Despite being a smart person, I’ve never been the kind of A type personality who does well at school. The environment just doesn’t suit me. I don’t know why. I’ve been told I have ADHD, but I do fine and manage time well when I’m in an actual job setting with stakes. I’m in college now and have just been told I won’t be receiving my CS degree. I came in as an English major because my grades weren’t good enough to enter the competitive CS program at my school, so I just took CS courses on override. But here too, my grades were not good enough and I won’t be allowed to transfer into the major. I’ll have to settle for an informatics degree, and after graduation get a CS degree from WGU or something like that. I suppose I’m looking for validation from anybody else who had a tortured academic path. I’m a little sick of being told I am not good enough because I don’t meet the metrics.
