Friendship and school?

Question

would you consider your friends as real friends if they judge you based on your school grades?...im a sophomore in college and i want to major in nursing, but as of now, my grades are bad, which means my chance of being accepted to the nursing program is 0, plus the fact that only 100 students are accepted each year...i was thinking if i can improve my grades this year and apply for the program again next year instead of this year, i might have a chance of being accepted. however, now i feel ashamed and embarrassed since this means that i wont be graduating in 2011 with everyone else that started college with me...im afraid to let my friends know because i dont want them to judge me because of my grades, and most of my friends are also majoring in nursing, which i would feel even more embarrassed when my friends get accepted to the program and im left behind...i feel embarrassed enough knowing that i wont be able to graduate in 4 years as expected and i would probably have to change my major...im so ashamed of myself...

Answer 1

dont be embaressed...if you want to do something to achieve then do it....try anything you like and see if you can improve....and plus u dont have to graduate on the same year...trust me!...btw....im sure you would be able to achieve!!

Answer 2

If they're really your friends, they'll help support you in your goal to go into nursing :)  Don't be embarassed, there is no "typical" student or "normal" way to do things, and not everyone graduates in 4 years, or even 5 or 6.
