After realizing that I was going to fail out, I went into action and checked into other local colleges that are available around my house. I ended up getting into another good college and worked my butt off. I then decided to go back to the original college I had failed out of, and after a semester I left. I left because of the stress and lack of sleep (roughly 12 hours per week). Honestly, if it wasn't for me failing out of college I wouldn't have found my passion in life. I started working on cars (my Subaru Impreza WRX) and I interned at a performance shop. Just because you failed out of college doesn't mean the world is over for you. Figure out what you want and go for it.

As of right now, I'm currently an Organization, Leadership, and Supervision major at a satellite campus of Purdue University. I'm 3 classes short of getting my Associates degree, and I'm planning to move to North Carolina to go to a college out there for Motorsport Management.

Sometimes you just have to think that although the door might be closed, there will always be another one opening for you. It did for me and I'm thankful for it.

Here is what I did:

1) Checked into all of the possible universities / colleges in my surrounding area.

2) Went to all of them and spoke to a guidance counselor to see what my options are. Not to mention, I had to kind of sell myself to show I'm capable of doing well.

3) I picked the best option for me at the time and applied to that school.

4) After getting accepted I promised myself I wouldn't fail again.

5) Kept telling myself through the rough classes that I don't wanna be a nobody, but rather a somebody!

6) Studied hard and got the grades.

The main lesson I learned was: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING BAD ENOUGH YOU'LL FIND A WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL / OBJECTIVE!

With all of that being said, don't fret over this. Things have to get worse before they get better.

Best of luck to ya,

WRX AJT
