Im scared to go back to school. I've been out so long I dont even know where to begin! ?

Question

I'm 23 years old and I have not completed a days worth of college. My single mother died when I was 13. I was forced to live on my own with guys, friends, and distant family members. I moved to NYC once i graduated high school to become a model/actress. But I became broke and didn't really fulfill my dreams at all. So now I back in my hometown of MD/DC working as a waitress, renting an apartment and still having desires of fulfilling my lifelong dreams. People I know who are in school are always bragging on they're education and I'm starting to feel really dumb! I want to take fashion merchandising b/c I really like fashion and I always wanted to own my own business. But I dont know what to do. I'm 23 and to get a degree I have four years to go. I'm feeling old and hopeless, and I don't know what to do with my life. Any advice will help...thank u guys:(

Answer 1

Go back to school.  It will pay off in the long run and you will be so glad you did it.  I started college at 48 yrs.  I didn't get to finish but when I get more money I plan on returning.  College is a whole new world, unlike high school.  I had developed better confidence in myself when I attended.  You are young and have many years ahead of you to work.  It will give you financial security to further your education.  You can do it!!!  Good luck.

Answer 2

If ur registered... just go in and do hat u want. Pay attention and try to get passing grades,

Answer 3

It's good to be scared but, for heaven's sake, don't let fear stop you from going back to school!!!!!  Community Colleges are an excellent place to start because they are local and very inexpensive.  You'll find folks of all ages in colleges and you'll do very, very well.  Write if you need more encouragement.
