Okay so a little background info.
As some of you I'm 18, I work retail, and live with my boyfriend.
Most of you don't know the severe pressure I get from my family about college, and trust me I want to go to college. But I'll be getting zero outside financial help.
I work a full time retail job that I HATE with a passion.
There is no way that it will support me through school.
And there is no way I'm sticking with it that long.
My mom wants me to jump right into college. The goal here is that I become a vet eventually.
I want to go to grooming school, and have that as a job as I work my way, slowly but surely, through college. Also the goal being to become a vet.
I will say I wasn't the best student in highschool, in fact I got my GED because of social and academic reasons. But I test amazingly. I tested out of my GED program in the top ten percent of graduating seniors. I know I can pull of college, I just feel I need to go at it my own way like I do with nearly everything. And I will pull my hair out if I have to work this job much longer.
I respect everyone all on here so very much. And would really love any advice you have to give.
:love:
