Hi Yaphet. I don’t know what “read 82” class is. But I can tell you that I tell many students (including my own kids) to talk with their academic advisor on campus. Often things are not as bad as they seem. Good luck!
Are you a failure? Definitely not. BUT, you do need to motivate yourself. After all, you will not pass your classes unless you do the homework and essays.
I have known several people who, in their first attempt at college, flunked out. In each of their cases, they got a job. One went into fiberglass boat construction, another drove a truck, etc. After working for a while, they figured out that putting the time into college classes was going to get them ahead faster than the track they were on. They went back to college and were successful because they were motivated to better themselves.
Maybe a similar path awaits you.
You are only a failure when you stop trying to succeed. Don’t give up. That feels worse than making a mistake.
