I'm a senior undergrad, I was suppose to graduate May 2016 but my grades and not enough course hours are holding me till December)who has always been academically driven and and focused student,but things
changed when I got into college, I'm not a partier, I'm not even very social other than in church groups or African union club on campus. I speak to professors after exams and for advice, from study groups, and all I'm a commuter and I park off campus so I usually have to walk alone and try not to leave campus late. I've always done pretty well in biology courses but my downfall right now is Organic 1. I've taken this class 3 times so far and have gotten an F twice and just saw that I got a D this semester(Spring 2016). The first semester taking Orgo I got an F and because I was trying to focus on bring my grade up in that class made a D in cell bio. I retook cell and made a B(my school doesn't do +/-). I'm just so distraught that my medical aspirations are gone, I used to have a 3.5 cGPA that I hoped to keep pushing but these grades in orgo have brought me down to an overall 2.5 and I'm devastated. I honestly don't know what to do, should I quit? I feel like it's over, there's no possible way I can get into grad school(PA) or medical school like this, I feel like a disappointment because my parents have been paying out of pocket and I feel like I've wasted their hard earned cash. I just don't like feeling like my once bright future is diminished, is there any advice from those in professional fields? I'm ashamed to even post this but I've run out of options and I don't want to do something that I may regret, please help, below are my grades. I attend UNCC like I said there are no +/- most the C's I have can be 79.45% but it just shows a solid C or a teacher refuses to push it to the next letter grade. I know some people will see this and insult me further that's fine I'm sure you're doing better and can insult someone like me but to those who do care please what can/should I do? I'm to being shadowing soon, either a PA or MD, I want to look towards more things other than clinical hours such as volunteering, what type of volunteering can I do? If SOMEONE could help me I'd appreciate it, I've been battling depression because of all this and I really haven't told anyone how sad or how I've lost hope. I don't want to reach deep depression where I may need medication but I've started thinking "thoughts" because my future doesn't seem to be going anywhere so what is my purpose in this world?
