I have been in college for 3 years. I started when I was a junior in high school, and am now almost finished as the equivalent of a freshman in college. I was able to start as a junior because of my state's program that allowed me to take college credits while in high school. I went to a small (and underfunded) school that had a very small course list, which mean that I met the requirements for graduation very quickly. Soon after taking the ACT, they allowed me to go to the Ohio State University, free of charge, for the remainder of my time in school (or I could graduate early, but that was a poor decision and would leave me in a tough spot at the time). So, I buckled up and joined 2 or 3 other students that were in the same boat as me, and headed to Ohio State. This was during the COVID-19 lockdown so it was all online but nonetheless I started taking courses. Long story short, I made it and was able to receive my degree from Ohio State before I even received one from my high school. I am very thankful for my opportunities and relatively proud of the work that went into accomplishing that. I am now on my way, with 50% completed, to receiving my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Western Governor's University. However, my accomplishments are not the main focus of this post; in fact, I very rarely like sharing it with people because it makes me uncomfortable and I'm sure it inspires bad feelings occasionally as well. No, this is about the many failures I endured throughout my school career.
