I have missed college ๐
I have missed college. It's hard for me now, I'm extremely disappointed. My parents also feel ashamed when people ask about my college entrance exam. In Vietnam, people always think college is going to be successful, not going to college means ignorance and failure. That negative thought, weighing down on me, It hurts me every day. I have collapsed a few days, I do not understand why I am not college. Just because I'm too confident, subjective should have enrolled in high schools so I missed out on college. Those who are lesser than me are in a favorite university. Everyone brags that he is at college, and I'm disappointed. I am afraid of relatives, people around me, friends ask me questions related to college. I hate the education of Vietnam, it is too much to study. New college thinking can penetrate deeply into everyone, making the country of Vietnam difficult to develop. I now have to wait two months, to have the opportunity to apply to other schools.
However, it is not a good school.. I do not know how many days I have to live, but I have to go to college at all costs. ๐ข

great post a-alice! keep it up! and thanks again for following!
Thank you @steemking777
don't worry its how life goes on. Everything is gonna be alright .
Thank you for the words of encouragement. ๐คIn my country people are too attached to college. I do not go to college, which means I'm being scorned. ๐
Most of the famous people including Bill Gates is a college dropout. College is just a part of our education but talent is the thing that helps us in the long run.
I also look forward to part like Bill Gates. Thank you again for the advice you give me. I wish you good health and happy โค๏ธ
Start Working hard with steem and other cryptocurrencies! Maybe After ~2 years you have too much money that every educated people will work for you!
Thank you. I hope so. Perhaps now investing in information technology is the most important. ๐ค
HI, a-alice. I am sorry to hear about your college exam results. I teach in China, and the gaokao (college entrance exam) there is very difficult. I suppose Vietnam's is too.
But in China, students have to wait a year to sit the gaokao again. So, on the bright side, you have another chance in a few months. So, you can take this set-back as a challenge, and work hard to ace the exam next time. Not everyone has to follow the same schedule. One of my Chinese students was 23 when she was a freshman, because she had to work first to earn money to go to school.
I know you are sad now, but soon you will be happy. I'm a teacher, so if you need help, let me know.
Very good advise @wheatdogg
I am very thankful for your advice. After listening to your advice, I feel luckier than the students in China. We have a second university admission exam, but only schools that lack students are eligible for admission. Fragile hope ๐ข My parents said if I did not go to public university, I would have to go to private university. But private tuition fees are too expensive for me to follow.
How much are the fees?
5 million of Vietnam equals one month of my mother's salary. ๐ข I can not go to private university. It will be a burden on my family. Calculates $ 250 a month, not including costs and additional school fees. ๐ข
You can generate income using Steemit. If there is a way to convert to Steem to Vietnamese dong, you could finance your education that way.
There is a website called kiva.org, which offers small loans to people in developing countries for schooling, business start-ups, and other things. The loans are crowdfunded, so many people contribute to the loan.
Are there scholarships available for low-income students there?
My advice is worry first about preparing for the exam, then worry about the money.
I think college level can not evaluate this person well, the other less. A few days ago I really suffered a lot, but heard the advice of you. I have had positive thoughts. Is China's university education burdensome?
From my American viewpoint, it's hard to get into a Chinese university, but easy to graduate. My students say the courses are too many and are often very boring, because the teachers do all the talking.
In the USA, the situation is different. It's easy to get into college/university, but the teachers expect students to study hard and be partners in their education. American students have fewer classes than Chinese students, but the requirements demand more individual work. So, it can be hard to graduate an American school.
I also heard people say that. So it looks like an American college degree is worth more than Vietnam. In Vietnam, it is difficult for people to go to college, so people's thoughts about college and not college are very different. ๐
Thank you all my good friends. I am very Surprised because I did not expect to receive much attention from everyone. At first I was just writing the heartbreak to release my heart, I was touched by the sincere advice of everyone.You make me feel more confident in the future. Actually, I do not care about having to go to college, just because my parents and others around me feel pressured and tired. I think the degree is not important, it is important how much money we get, whether we are happy or not? Once again I would like to thank all of you, everyone is so good and enthusiastic. Wish everyone success in life ๐ค
Because you are true to yourself by sharing it..no hidden agenda and we can all feel that.:):) Keep going Alice!
Thank you for your support ๐คโค๏ธ
I don't want to be harsh on you. But please stop playing the blame game and work hard to improve yourself.
Thank you. I will listen to your advice. ๐ค
Actually, a college degree offers a very little value now. You can learn everything by yourself. Cheers !

Thank you for taking the time to advise me. you are so kind. Just now I'm too stuck. My country is backward, so people say that "the university is out of poverty". I'm glad I got a word of encouragement from you.
You are welcome! Anytime just reach out and ask! :) Best
Thank u โค๏ธ๐ค
No need to worry at all! College degree is not a proof of success! Just look at Mark Zuckerburg! In this tech era, everyone can be successful! You will just need to find a good way to succeed
