4 Powerful Things I Did When I Failed to Enter College

A college failure can turn out to be your biggest blessing. I wish I knew it when I spent months moaning about my failed college entry. As soon as I turned 7, my parents were sure that I would become a lawyer. I didn’t like that idea but didn’t want to disappoint those who gave me life. I disappointed, though. When I received a letter that notified me about a failed exam, it seemed my life ended right at that moment. My parents probably thought this way, too. Our house was full of grief and tears as if someone died.…

I failed to get into the University of my Dreams

I knew which University I wanted to attend by the time I was 13 years old. Since then, I’ve done everything I could to learn more about what would give me the best chances of getting in. I did so many early scholarships, I wrote so many college application essays in preparation, and I even visited the school twice a year to show I really was eager to get in. They had the exact program I wanted and the student body was so welcoming. It was everything I ever wanted. Against my parents’ wishes, it was the only school I…
