<p>I am a White Male with no real intense or difficult background, I am very lucky. Both my parents have doctorates and are clinical psychologists who own their own business (just the two of them) and work together. My older brother attends Assumption College (MA) and is majoring in Psychology, I wish to break away from the "family business" and work on my own future. I fear my grades and scores are nowhere near high enough for what i need, even though I KNOW I am a better student then what my grades portray. I was in a bad state of mind through freshman and sophomore and did next to nothing as far as academic work. I feel if i apply myself i can be successful in any school environment, no matter the difficulty. Please help me decide on what I should do, and whether I should "give up" on these college aspirations.</p>
<p>I am also open to other college options if they are open to me, if anyone has any suggestions please say so.</p>
<p>P.S. Do you have any ideas for a club or group for which i could attempt to create, not only for leadership recognition, but maybe an animal-based one in which i could enjoy? Creativity is welcomed.</p>
