Good evening friends, let me start off with a quick backstory.
My life before college was not the best. I was an absolute loner in high-school. I was depressed, didn’t have any friends, I was bullied, and had major social anxiety. I wasn’t involved in anything and the only thing I did in my free time was either make music or be forced to work as a dishwasher at my family’s restaurant. I had awful self-esteem, I would mentally attack myself just about every day.
I also had an IEP so basically someone held and gave me free grades since 5th grade. Because of this IEP I was able to turn in homework whenever I wanted and I was able to redo any test no matter how bad the grade was. I also had extended time on tests and quizzes and help was available whenever I wanted it. I started to take advantage of this because I did not need it and just stopped caring, therefore, I never was really able to practice responsibility.
Then college came around. I somehow miraculously got accepted to a good university and made friends via an online group-chat for the freshman class. I consider college a blessing. My life completely changed I now have the best circle of friends that love and care about me, I’ve gained confidence, I’ve gained social skills, and I even have a beautiful girl in my life.
However, because of my happiness and never having anyone in my life before, I went off the deep-end and I’ve sinned countless times. Last semester, I went out and partied just about every weekend consuming unhealthy amounts of alcohol and smoking weed. It resulted in me failing my math class twice, my spreadsheet class, and ending up with an overall GPA of 1.6. This was a wake-up call. I am now on academic probation this semester I need to get an overall GPA of 2.0 to continue on to sophomore year and somehow I haven’t learned. I just found out that I’ve failed my math class a third time. If I were to fail out of college, I would be absolutely devastated. I wouldn’t know what to do with my life. I would lose so many connections. So many memories so many opportunities.
I ask of anyone to pray for me because I am lost and don’t know what to do.
Thank you.
