Chances to Transfer to a 4 year

[melvinslal]

<p>I'm new to forums here. Nice to meet you all! my name is Melvin. I live in CA. in 2011, my mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer, during this time, i was in college if spring. It was pretty much ok, but i struggled to the max, and maintained a 4.0 cumulative until now. She survived. In Fall 2012, my mom's health started to weaken a bit, we though her weak immune system from chemo was the cause. This caused me to lose focus in school. I was taking demanding classes at the time and my gpa tanked to a 2.83 resulting in a 3.66 overall. My mom was taken to the ER in Spring 2013 after the W date for classes passed. She has Non-terminal stage 4 lung cancer and i was the only person to take care of her. My dad on top of that lost his job, and i got my sister married this time as well. I failed 2 classes and aced 2 easy courses. My dream is to transfer to a RESPECTED UC school, but now that I have two f's, i don't know. i've never failed any class in my entire life. I feel like quitting school and going straight to work, but my parents forbid me from doing so. I need some advice and some motivation. I hate school and my life. I want my parents to be happy again, especially my mom.</p>
