I dropped out of high school when I was 15, I’m 30 now and just got my GED about a month ago. There was no excitement or anything worth celebrating from the way I saw it. I was ashamed to be doing something at the age of 30 that I should have done many years ago, so I was hesitant to even tell anyone (well I still haven’t tbh) except my immediate family. Then, I started thinking that not everyone starts out on a level playing field, some people have to work harder than others for certain things, some people have obstacles to overcome and take longer than others to accomplish things and there isn’t anything wrong with that. We all have different paths and we can’t control everything life throws at us, and that’s okay

I’ve never thought of a ‘success timeline’. But I find myself worried I’m not doing well enough, fast enough, almost every day.

I’ve been in community college for 4 years and I just got accepted into UC Davis, thanks for posting this OP
