Hi! A little bit about my situation.
Education: I've completed a total of 39 hours at a community college and will be done with my basics. I've spent a semester at a major public university in Texas and I had to leave due to financial issues. I need to retake two classes there
Volunteering: I've had probably a total of MAYBE 100 hours at a local hospital on the Mother and Baby floor. (I have no idea why they didn't rotate me.
Clinical experience: besides volunteering none!
Work: currently I'm a nanny. Im working on making the switch into something more my speed. (Pharm tech, CNA, phlebotomist)
I posted this because my college years have not been easy for me at all. And I keep running into problems and sort of getting discouraged. I graduated in 2014 from high school and initially planned to complete just one year at CC and transfer into a uni. (Which i did) but now I'm back where I started because of funding issues. I'm a first Gen student. I believe maybe my father was a college drop out. And my mother didn't pursue college at all. There is NO funding for my college at all anywhere besides what I save and financial aid.
I've run into another problem as well. Biology 1 at the uni I want to attend is only taught in the fall semesters! And it is completely FULL! when I return to the uni I will be in my third year and should be considered a junior. I'm frantically panicking about being SO behind. This means I would be taking my science prereqs my senior year. Is there anything I can do to fix this?! I can take all my chemistry and physics classes but no bio (which is my major) until my senior year!
My GPA definitely needs work! However I'm not worried too much about my non science courses. I want to retake a few classes to boost my gpa but not many.
Throughout my college career money will always be a problem for me and I'm aware of that. However as long as I make enough to scrape by i will be happy! So finding a job to gain clinical experience and pay you reasonable is difficult for me as well!
Recently I also got an MIC (minor in consumption) which is a class c misdemeanor. I haven't been to court to take care of it or to see what is even going to happen to me. This has totally thrown me over the edge because now I feel like my whole future will be ruined. Am I completely screwed?!
I'm looking for all the advice I can get right now, because at this point I'm feeling like just throwing the towel in.
