Since 2021, I struggled with my schooling. My high school exams were cancelled, and we were given predicted grades and these said grades were not the grades that reflected a career in Dentistry. I cried during the release of predicted grades. I cried so much. I struggled to find a qualification that would let me into university for the past 4 years, from 2022 to 2026. I was thrown around with different qualifications that wouldn't let me study it because 'we can't fund you because of your age.' I essentially felt hopeless, I managed to do a qualification but it was for adults way in their careers and life I'd say around 30+ whilst I was a 19 year old feeling left behind my own peers, I finish the qualification this year and I'm heading to university, despite the amount of embarassment and guilt I feel for myself my parents are not making me feel any better about the situation and the longer I stay in this household the worse my feelings get, I want to leave I want uni to start already.
