Sorry guys,
I am going to vent. I just got my third C of college, and I am so absolutely pissed off with myself. I decided to take Calc I this Summer. I was holding around an 84% the entire semester, and then I completely just bombed this final, and now I have officially gotten my third C of college.
I had a pretty tough freshman year, so I got C's in both Gen Bio I and Gen Bio II. Transferred a couple times, took a couple courses, got some A's and B's, then intelligent, capable me decided it would be a good idea to catch up and take Calc I, Chem II and Chem II lab and work all at the same time.
But, you want to know what happened, I got this C in Calc I and ended up taking the W in Chem II and Chem II Lab, and while I may have been doing fine in Chem II Lab, I am transferring, so that probably would not have ended up transferring without the lecture credit anyways. So, now I have gouged my GPA to a deplorable number, and I will basically never be able to pursue my dreams of becoming a dentist.
I worked so **** hard to bring my GPA up over this past year. And, all of that work has culminated in yet another C. I am going to be a Junior, folks. I still have not even taken Orgo. I feel like a walking, talking, breathing failure.
For so long, I have wanted to be a dentist. My parents have told me Science is not my strong suit. They tell me I am a good writer, and that I am solid in other aspects. They keep pushing me into getting a law degree or an MBA, citing dentistry is just going corporate (my Dad is a dentist) and that it is not the industry it was in the 90's to early 00's. But, while money is a great bonus, I want to be a dentist, because I genuinely like the profession. I've grown up seeing my Dad at the office, and thinking you know what, this is what I want to do with my life. I don't want to be in a clinical profession. I want to be in this clinical profession. I've shadowed other dentists. My life has literally been built around this. I have no plan B. I don't like law! I have taken law classes. I can't sit there and fricking read case studies for the rest of my life. Hell, GPA is everything to law schools, and I've annihilated it taking these damn Science courses.
And, now I am just lost. My GPA is in shambles. I was ready to go back to my University with a better "I can do this" attitude, and now I am just a distraught mess. I'm not looking for the World's tiniest violin here, guys. I am sorry. We all have our problems navigating this World. I guess I just needed a place to vent.
Thanks SDN
