<p>Hello all, This is my first post here as I really need to find some help. Allow me to explain. My name is Peter, I'm currently an undergrad taking part time classes at a local community college. The teaching in the school is purely based on the teachers ability to read from a power point presentation. In High School I did very poorly as I was lazy and had ADHD with zero knowledge on how much it would effect my future. I finished High school with a GPA of 1.2868. My current College GPA is 1.8ish if I remember correctly. My plans after high school was to join the Air Force which I was pretty much in but told them about my ADHD. No big deal, they asked for my Med Docs and I gave it to them figuring they just wanted to make sure I wasn't taking medications anymore. They Permanently Disqualified me from any and all military services because I apparently was place on Anti-Depressants in the 4th grade for a Month and had "History of Depression" place on my records. So now i'm kindof lost in life in terms of what I wanna do but I know I need school. I like Computer Sciences and Business. My life's goal of serving has come and gone in an instant and now my mother is trying to kick me out of the house with what little money I have. Things are getting really tough. I wanna leave New Hampshire and move to California to go to school. Where do I start? Where can I apply? How do I get into a school if they keep laughing at my GPA? Please help me. Someone. I'm always a happy guy but i'm starting to fade on the happy. :(</p>
<p>Also, Sorry about the long read. :(</p>
<p>If you want to go to California, there’s an actual solution: go there, work at any job you can find for 12 months straight, DO NOT register for any class. That will establish California residency. Then apply to the community college closest to your apartment and job and enroll there, aiming for no grade below a B ever.
This will test your will though since it’s really not easy to do.
Why California, though?
As for your mother, it may sound harsh but realize she’s been paying for college and you bring home one D and three C’s, of course she’s very upset.
Finally, I doubt the airforce would have taken someone who graduated high school with a GPA below 2.0 so they may have used the medical documents as their reason but the writing was on the wall.</p>
