Failed a course twice, what do I do?
I want to go back to school again. I didn't know or recalled after such a long time ago (more than a decade ago) I have taken a course twice and didn't quite pass to the grade that the colleges I applied to require. I want to become a nurse. The passing grade in the colleges I applied to require C and higher for the pre-requisite courses. I had a minus C grade on psychology twice. I do not know what to do at this point. I feel I suck and I've been feeling this way since before last Christmas. It's getting hard to accept facts that I may never become a nurse now. I tried contacting and personally tried to talk to the nursing department at my school but I got bad news that I will not be accepted into the nursing program with a failing grade in psychology. I did not know that all nursing programs were this competitive. I began spiraling and got very emotional. In my head a month a later after feeling just a teeny bit better I started to think about what other careers I may study. The reason why I am writing this post is for advice. Like what else can I do? Are there any other health professions that I can do other than nursing even with these two low grades? I do not know who else to talk to about this. I tried friends, coworkers, anyone at this point and they all say "I'm sure you'll figure it out.. just give it time" or something like that along those lines. I spoken to advisors of the college I applied and got admitted to, got my transcript evaluation, and came to bad news as well. I currently applied to another college. I am waiting for a response from admissions office to see if I got accepted or not and WILL definitely talk to an advisor there too. I still have hopes but do you guys think I should just drop it and just accept the fact that I will not be a Registered Nurse at all? I know that I should but that feeling of wanting to be accepted still lingers. I do not know what to do at this point.
How do I really start thinking about my future and setting goals?
I'm 17 and a high school senior. I hate being asked what my goals are and where I see myself in the future because I rarely ever think deeply about it. So, it's a real problem when I want to do something like apply for a scholarship and have to write an essay about it. Am I supposed to know exactly what I want to do? My interests: I'm currently going on a business career pathway, though I've never been entirely sure why. I can't figure out why I'm drawn to business. I'm also really into making music, specifically instrumental composition and production. I also have experience editing videos through my YouTube channel where I've made many video mashups for fun.
Where do I even begin to start to get my life on track?
I haven't decided on anything I want to do in my life. I'm unsure about anything and having a hard time making any type of life altering decisions.
If I don't want to finish my degree because I have a job that's my dream job, should i finish?
I am asking this because i feel as if i am stuck ##feeling-stuck #need
