<p>(Background) I come from a very strict, and over bearing family. And i never really got to do too much, growing up. (i was lucky if i got to walk around my own block). </p>
<p>(Story) I graduated from high school (private, religious institution) in 2011 and started college that fall. When i chose my college i really wanted to go the an arts college, but due to religious issues (my family is very religious) and personal parental opinion, they told me that i couldn't go to college unless it was within their religion. When i got there, I originally wanted to go in to study music, but my mother and cousin convinced me that if i graduated with a degree in music, i would not make any money. They suggested that i study psychology. So i agreed to go through with the degree in psychology. </p>
<p>The first semester was terrible, I failed all of my classes, (even though i actually had fun for the first time in my life) and was placed on academic probation. When i got back for Christmas we went over what went wrong. I begged my mother not to let me go back the next semester because i felt that i wasn't ready for the whole college thing. Instead she insisted that i go back and finish what i started. So i went back the second semester and i brought up some grades to like C's, 2 F's and a B ( i really don't actually know, because i felt like i did so bad that semester i didn't want to be discouraged by more bad grades) (I also was put on academic suspension.)</p>
<p>After that i took a semester off (thats the one that just passed) to get my mind back in order (i was dealing with alot of depression and i felt super lost in life) I used the time to figure out what i really wanted to do with myself, and my life. I also took time to see what i actually did wrong, and worked on those things so that i wont mess up next time. Now that i have more of and idea and a plan of what i want to do, and how to get there for myself (not for my family) I want to go back to a University so i can get that campus life back. What do i have to do to get back on track and graduate? Or even better, what do i have to do to become more eligible to get back in?</p>
