I’ve been told by my lecturers that I’m going to fail my 2nd chance at this module and then I will be reviewed, where I may be given another chance, may be asked to leave, or given the chance to come back in a year, and this will happen in 2 weeks. I want to quit before I’m failed yet my parents don’t want me to do that. I wanted to quit so I don’t have a fail against my name but my parents want me to try everything until I’ve got no choice.

It’s not from lack of trying that I’m failing, I’ve tried really hard, I just can’t do it and that’s fair enough. Can’t be good at everything. I just don’t feel like even turning up on Monday for my lecture. The thing is though, if I grit my teeth and go through 3 more days, I’ll get my grant (which I don’t have to pay back) so if I do quit/fail at least I’ll have some cash to tide me over until I find something else to do.

I want to stick it out for my sake (limit the chance of regrets) and also for my parents. Feeling very insecure about the future. I do have a part-time job that I’ll keep (not to do with university) which is enough to pay the rent, but I’m in my mid-20s and feeling a little like my one chance to go to university and get a degree has been ruined and I’m going to end up in a dead-end job for the rest of my life.

Thank you to anyone who reads this. I’m feeling very far from God right now, I’m currently lapsed, but I will make another thread to discuss this at a later date.

Why?what is the problem? something to do with maths, chemistry, physics?
 
You are in my prayers.

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Hang in there! Get your grant and stick it out to the end.

I know you don’t want a fail under your name, but if you quit while reinstatement is still possible, you will always wonder if you could have finally made it after all. Don’t cease and desist until you have to! Overcoming resistance is a basic of our life.

God Bless and ICXC NIKA.
 
I’m saying a prayer for you!
Hang in there. Maybe you could just drop one or two courses to decrease your workload? Instead of dropping out altogether?

And just because you’re in your mid-twenties, that doesn’t mean you can’t go back to school later! Lots of people change careers late in life. For example my local priest used to be a doctor, and then went back to school and became a priest. Don’t be discouraged!

God bless,
Sarah
 
You are in my prayers Lemon! I’m so sorry to hear of your troubles, but do be encouraged, keeping at it with all you’ve got seldom ends badly. Don’t give up on God or on yourself, you’ll get through!🙂

What class is it that’s giving you so much trouble, if I might ask? I believe God always has a plan, even if it doesn’t coincide with our plans, and may be very hard to see at the time. I will pray for you.
 
I will remember you in my prayers this evening.

As a student myself I know how challenging higher education can be. Hang in there and don’t despair because that won’t do you any good. Instead turn to God and “Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7) The farther you move away from God the weaker you will be in all areas of your life, but the closer you move towards Him the stronger you will be.
 
Thank you all for your prayers. 🙂

The issues I am having trouble with aren’t from lack of trying or lack of knowledge, my course is a practical one and I’m struggling with that side of things.

I hope God does have a plan for me. Not sure what it is right now, but hopefully I’ll find out soon.
 
Whatever happens, don’t let the “system” make you think you are somehow deficient, useless, or worthless. You are not worthless. This broken world hits us all with many punches; just rely on God and roll with them the best you can.

I am going through a very similar situation, and I will definitely pray for you. If you are curious about my situation I have posted my thread too. Anyways I am definitely praying for you and believe me I clearly know where you are coming from and probably feel exactly the same way you do. I pray that God bless us both with a miracle and bless our educators that they be understanding and sympathethic towards our effort in the class

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you
