The Backstory: So I'm gonna be a senior in the fall and senior year heavily revolves around college. It a new standard that is pushed on young people today that you must go to college. I actually have a family that could care less if I go to college but I still want to to go because I know my crappy public school education isn't enough to prepare me for the type of job that going to pay me the money I want to be making. I've always been lower class and I hate it. I know I have sooo much more than those in third world countries but compared to even non-immediate family members I don't have a lot. I've always dreamed of having a life where I can buy some of the things that I want.
The Problem: These last 2 years I've been living with my mom again and my grades haven't been so great. When I was living with other family freshman year I got decent grades. California has strict admission requirements and I have plans to make up all but one of my Ds. I was supposed to make it up this summer but I guess I turned in my application for summer school too late and I didn't get in. That one D is completely disqualifies me for all public schools in the state. My other big reason or college is the ability to move away. That is why I don't want to go to the CC in my area.
The kind of solution:The only thing that's keeping me from having a complete break down is that a few California CCs have dorms or at the very least resources to help students find roommates and a place to live. This means I can still move out like I want and the tuition is cheaper at a CC anyway. I know its small but It keeps me sane.
