<p>Thanks a lot for the encouragement HappyMomof1 and Mom2jej. I guess I’m trying to get some advice from students that might have been in a similar situation and what course of action they took, how thy dealt with their F’s, etc. Unfortunately the counselors at my community college are uninterested in a student like me, and have already given me the shrug off in several counseling appointments while not steering me in any direction. I just don’t want to give in to the opinion that transferring to a UC is a dream for someone like me, especially when I’m willing to do whatever it takes. If someone could just guide me…</p>
