If my college post confused some people. I am actually from Greece. So my first language is not English. I lived there until I was seven before my mom met my stepdad and moved to Australia I was held back because I couldn't speak English then, but once I got the hang of it I was good enough to keep moving on.
Then my mom got a job opportunity in America and I've lived here since I was twelve. And because the education is differant in America, I basically went down a grade and had to learn everything again. So I almost dropped out when I got to highschool. But I was given the opportunity to try a dual enrolment program because of my setbacks. I was a pseudo college student for a semester where I was given the opportunity to work in a field of interest. Once that was over and I went back to school, I had a new drive to try and get in
Sorry if I clouded up your dash, I got a couple anons asking why I should be so proud that I got to college and that its a common thing to do so
