<p>Hey there DanielleJ. You see, I`m probably too young to answer a question like that, but what I can tell you is this.
Imagine the best-case scenario, perfect job, perfect university and everything goes perfectly.
Now throw a wrench in that, and move it around a little. If you’re really determined you’ll have the same “destination” (Which seem more and more like stepping stones rather than anything else…) but the trajectory you take to get there changes too much just out of pure circumstance.
I used to be an overly systematic person, I still kind of am, but I’m working on that. Plan, but don’t overplan, and always be ready for change, because it comes whether you like it or not.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Your best advocate is you, and you need to believe in yourself and your abilities. And never be afraid to ask for help. So, is there a counselor or teacher you can talk to about your situation? If you plan to attend a community college, consider talking to one of their counselors, or the admissions dean or even the president of the community college and ask for advice from them. You never know what connections you might make that could come in handy for you.</p>
<p>The only definite piece of advice I’d give to you is this - avoid any university or college is that is a ‘for profit’ one. They are expensive, even if they offer you financial aid - it will never be enough. And you will risk getting into serious, serious debt that could follow you the rest of your life.</p>
<p>Public universities and colleges offer great opportunities to students and are not as expensive, and in my opinion, have better professors and instructors. The for profit schools that advertise on TV - skip them. </p>
<p>Nothing is impossible if you are willing to work harder than you ever thought you could. You are not the only person in this world who had to work and go to school. My father was raised in a poor family. He had to take remedial classes just to get into the local public university. But he did it, and he got his engineering degree. I had to work during college and grad school and pay my own way. It was hard, but I did it. And so can you!</p>
<p>Work hard. Ask tons of questions. Seek out help from everyone; see who steps up and who doesn’t. The ones who step up are the ones to ask for help then. Seek out advice from a wide variety of people. Don’t get discouraged - when one door closes that means you need to find the other open door somewhere. Anything that is worthwhile is worth fighting for. You can do this - it might be harder than you thought, and there might be days you think you can not go any further, but you must find the inner strength to do so, and you can do it - others have done so and overcame adversity.</p>
<p>Good luck to you in your future!</p>
