Lana-Whether you realize it or not, you are making your parents proud! You are in college and doing a wonderful job. As said earlier, a GPA is not indicative of your abilities and intelligence.
When you said that you were resentful b/c other kids had things that you didn't when you were younger, that really tapped into what I feel like sometimes too. As we get older, the scenario doesn't change a lot. I'm sure everyone out there knows people like this...On one hand, threre are the people who graduated high school and had a kid while they were there or shortly thereafter, they have an apartment, job of some sort, nice clothes, and a nice car. Then, there are we people.....the college kids who are counting change to buy ramen noodles while doing the "right" thing by going to college and encountering all of the hardships that come with being stressed out, poor, overworked, and under appreciated. But you know what? It's all going to pay off in the end. Have faith in the whole "delayed gratification" deal.
Keep heart, Lana.
