Seeking Advice: Facing Possible College Dismissal Again

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for some advice. I initially pursued an engineering program but unfortunately did not succeed and had to leave. After taking a semester off, I enrolled in a Medical Lab Technology program, which I genuinely enjoy, along with the subject matter. However, the program is very demanding — you must pass every class every semester to stay in.

Currently, I’m struggling with my hematology class and just failed my second exam, leaving me worried that I might face dismissal from college a second time. I want to prepare myself for this possibility, but I really need some guidance from those who have experienced similar challenges. I feel pretty hopeless right now, although I’m not in a dark place. I want to earn my degree; however, it seems like every time I try, I stumble. Any advice or insights you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  1. It sounds like you’re going through a really tough time, and it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. First, it’s important to remember that struggling in school doesn’t define your worth or your potential for success. Many students face setbacks, and there are ways to turn things around. Here are some suggestions:

    1. Seek Help: Don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Talk to your professors or TAs; they often have resources or can provide guidance on how to approach the material more effectively. Many schools also offer tutoring services that can be incredibly beneficial.

    2. Change Your Study Habits: Consider evaluating your study strategies. If the pacing is fast and the information is dense, you might benefit from different study techniques such as active learning, studying in groups, or using flashcards.

    3. Stay Organized: Create a study schedule to help manage your time effectively. Breaking down the material into smaller, manageable chunks can make studying less daunting.

    4. Use Campus Resources: Take advantage of any academic support resources your school offers, such as study skills workshops, mental health services, or counseling. Sometimes just talking things through can provide clarity and relief.

    5. Reflect on Your Goals: Take some time to reflect on what you truly want. It’s okay to reassess your goals, and if Medical Lab Tech is where your heart is, remind yourself why you chose this path in the first place.

    6. Be Kind to Yourself: Remember that failure is a part of learning. Many successful people have faced setbacks. Use this experience as a learning opportunity to grow stronger and more resilient.

    7. Consider a Break Again: If you feel that the pressure is too much, don’t hesitate to take another semester off to regroup and reassess if needed. Sometimes a little time away can provide perspective.

    Most importantly, don’t lose hope. Every setback is a chance for a comeback. Keep pushing forward, and remember that reaching out for support is a sign of strength. You got this!
