The Potential Deal Breakers Of Thriving In College

Every student has a desire to be well educated and able to stand in today's competitive world. There are students who get better opportunities and resources to explore their dreams and desires, also there are one's who struggle day and night to get that opportunities as well as resources. Every person on the planet has issues in their life and everyone has a different story. Some of the stories and issues are very common among all that can affect their studies and future. There are two basic reasons of students dropping off from colleges . They are :

1) Money : It is one of the most potential deal breakers. Most of the students in college face this issue. For instance , considering myself , as a new immigrant , I am  too  facing this issue currently  which can be one of the basic reasons that I can no longer be in college. One person earning and other four dependent on one is very difficult situation. Secondly, not having residency of one year in this college has made it more difficult to pay my fees and other expenses. Although it could be that i wouldn't attend college due to non residency, but I was unable to sit at home and wait for one year at home. So , I decided to take part time college, so that at least my education will not be neutral. I am also not eligible for financial aid and fee waiver which has made it more difficult. Due to this my family is financially not very standing and this is one of the basic thing that can affect my education too.

2) Personal : This could be the second reason for my dropping out of college. Everybody, at some point have certain issues which could affect their near future . In the same way I too have some personal issues which can become obstruction in my education. Due to this , at some point of the day I feel very depressed and helpless and also lose confidence , which affects my overall performance in college. That is the time I cannot concentrate and keep my focus . My attention gets diverted , which makes it challenging to perform better in class. 

STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES : It is well said that, if god gives problems than he also gives solutions as well. As every lock has a key,  so does every problem has a solution. The only thing is to unlock the solutions and try to grab opportunities and  focus on every small issue that affects our life. small things make big changes. I too have some planned strategies to deal with my current problems. They are :

             As far as money is concerned I am searching for a job nearby my home so that I can go by walking, as neither I have a license and nor any means of transportation of my own. Once I get job, one of my biggest concern will be solved and i can be satisfied and confidently keep on continuing my education. That will make me more of myself, as I will not be dependent and can be able to afford the expenses of my education. It will also build a foundation for my career. This will solve both my deal breakers ; money as well as personal . As I will be busy and also self dependent I will be able to focus more on my education than on my problems. So, my first priority at this moment is getting self dependent and continuing my education by all means.
