Eleven years ago I can remember there being so much chaos. I was going to the University of Toledo and majoring in Communications and I got so depressed I just stopped going to classes. My boyfriend at the time was a real d bag and didn't encourage me going to school either and coaxed me into skipping classes. Also I got pregnant. I ended up having a miscarriage and the depression got even worse. Apparently when you miss enough classes at UT they don't like it so I remember getting a letter on my birthday saying I was expelled and that I would have to prove myself at another institution before I could come back. Of course it felt like the end of the world for me at that time. I felt like bottom had fallen out. But that wasn't the bottom for me. I had many more bottoms to go through.
When I started doing good at Owens I started thinking about reapplying to UT but I was really scared. I didn't think they would accept me back unless I had my associates but the program I want it at UT and the more time I spend at Owens the more time and money I am wasting. Finally my mom told me to just apply and get it over with. Well after two weeks of my heart being in my throat over this issue I got my acceptance letter yesterday into the program! I was so happy even my dad's sour mood could not phase me. For most people this wouldn't be a big deal but when you look at where I was eleven years ago and where I am now it's a big deal to me. So I have one more semester at Owens and then I am a UT girl come fall!
It is never to late to change. Never. I'll always be crazy in my head but I don't have to live crazy.
