Hey so my life took another dive. I failed one of my classes for the program I am in and this is strike two. Just depressed, feeling like a failure because they have a three strikes you are out. It sucks that I have to repeat this difficult class but one more strike and I get kicked out of the program. Feel like giving up and quitting school now because my mind keeps telling me I won’t make it. I just want to succeed at something and not feel stupid. I don’t want to keep disappointing the people in my life, though they don’t know how close I am to ruining their lives by not being able to contribute and help my family. They of course think everything is normal but how could I tell them I am too dumb to do anything with my life. Well I just had to say this out loud. Don’t know if anyone can relate but I just hoping I am not the only one struggling with life in general where people make the grades and graduate. Seems easy enough right.

Listen, at least you are still going and trying. I would rather get the third strike than quit and have regrets because you did not stick it out. If you get that third strike move on to something else.

Any way you can maybe get help with the work? Like a tutor?

Just because you aren't doing well in that program doesn't mean that you're stupid. I have a master's degree in one area, and did VERY well. That doesn't mean I could do well in an another subject, though. Sometimes our failures show us where we're NOT meant to be in life. That can be SO painful to admit and struggle through. Sometimes, though, we just have to keep going. Sometimes classes in a program are meant to be harder than real life. My husband, a specialist CPA for more years than I want to admit, says that his "intermediate" accounting classes almost made him quit the accounting program. He stuck with it, though, and has a very successful practice. In any case, you're NOT "stupid." Your gifts may just lie in another area, OR you may have simply hit a spot where your professors are really challenging your commitment to this profession.

Hi- When I was in college, I failed in one of my subjects and I was graduating. I was so worried and scared that I would disappoint my parents. I am the eldest in my family and they have high expectations in me. I want to make my parents happy but I failed.

I did what I had to do and thank God I was able to graduate college.

Sorry that you feel this way, I pray that you will remain hopeful and you can make it. May God's peace and favor be upon you. Please keep us posted. Take care.
