Hi PJ,

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out the way you had hoped. It is good that you are determined to learn from this experience. Who knows perhaps there is a better path for you out there in terms of learning and growing as a person. I am hopeful that you will find that path.

Wishing you all the best,

Hats off to you PJ for doing what it takes to keep your dream alive. Your day will come!
 
You are true to yourself despite everything and you always seem so willing to grow and change. Education is a great thing too. Learning is a life-long process, and people who can't be bothered with it are probably just afraid of change. It's easier for them to stand still and snipe at others who are moving forward, until one day they wonder how they got left behind...
 
I often ponder the wrong turnings I made in life, like having children far too young, and I know that sinking feeling that a door has slammed shut in my face. I just smile at how impatient I used to be, but somewhere deep down I had faith in myself and I've ended up more or less where I always hoped. And learned something (patience, maybe?) from endless mistakes along the way.

Hello All,

I read every single post on the site, so excuse me if I don't have insight, or something to comment about. (most people don't want to talk to me anyway)

I wasn't able to get into Mac for the program, as my marks from 8 years ago weren't sufficient enough.  I was a bit upset when I saw the email, especially when it came at the end of the day before driving home.  I was mis-guided from people who told me work experience means more then your grades.  Well, in a funny laughter, I'm laughing while typing this.  That is not the case. Oh well.

I have actually taken major steps back and I am going to do independent learning from grade 11 in Math, and all science courses.  Once I complete that I will do the same at the grade 12 Level. 

This may stupid to some people.  This is not 'stupid' for me.  Someone shut the door on me.  I would like to figure out how to open up that door.  Regardless of the outcome I will learn something.  The only reason I wanted to go to MAC was to learn something and embrace the education and do well.

I've actually become very sick, tired of people telling you what to do.  Ever since I moved home from all that bull crap you know about, I have heard some mean things. Hurtful things from the people who love you. 

I need to turn the hurt into something more worth while.  I tell my guitar teacher how I feel every week, he says majority of this is in your head.  (he's a good guy)

this has been in my head since I was 9 years old, but I know what he's saying.
 
Much Love,
 
(No insults necessary, I've had so many thus far)
