A story and good news

[Another Felix]

4 years ago, I started college as an engineering major because my parents kind of forced me into it. I struggled a lot in some of the classes and the more I thought about actually being an engineer for a career, the more depressed I felt. After my second year of living on campus, I moved back home and started to commute. Now that I needed gas money, I started to work as a cashier for Wal-mart, which I still do.

 

As a result of everything, my grades were low. Very low. Below a C average. As such, I was placed on academic probation last year, where I needed to get my grades up in order to not be thrown out of school. Since I really didn't like engineering, I switched majors to economics, something I find much, much more interesting. That was the fall semester this year, and I was just shy of getting good enough grades to be taken off probation. And I was suspended.

 

I was able to appeal the suspension and enroll in classes over the spring semester, but with the condition that I needed at least a 2.5 GPA for the semester or else I'd be expelled. And after putting in a lot more work than I had ever done before, I just learned that I got all B's in my classes, so a 3.0 GPA. Which means I'm back in good standing with my school and due to my major, it should actually be possible for me to graduate after only one more semester at school if i take a class over the summer and winter session. I'm signed up for the summer one and will sign up for the winter one when the time comes, but that's just really good news for me.

 

So yeah, felt like sharing this story about my college experience, and I'm really happy I won't be thrown out.
