I ended up just taking the GED to skip doing actual school. I got College-Ready scores in the GED eithout studying, better than the GPA I had in highschool which was like 2 point something, the GED score equivalent is closer to like 3.7 or something
My state college accepted me. But I didn’t even finish a semester and I have depression. So… yeah… withdrew.
It feels very shameful for me as an Asian American. It’s very against the “model minority” sterotype. Pretty sure people, especially like people back in China would be judgy like: “Omg you’re so privilaged¹ to move to America and didn’t even get a university degree, what a waste of opportunity” (nobody said this, but this is how I think they’ll react if they find out I don’t have a degree)
So yea… self esteem isn’t very high.
[¹It’s not even really that “privilaged”. Just a coincidence I got born into a family that has relatives in the US. It’s not like we’re rich or anything, just sheer luck of having the right blood relationships.]
I hated it lol.
