Title: Despite being a smart person, I&#x27;ve never been the kind of A type personality who does well at school. The environment just doesn&#x27;t suit me. I don&#x27;t know why. I&#x27;ve been told I have ADHD, but I do fine and manage time well when I&#x27;m in an actual job setting with stakes.<p>I&#x27;m in college now and have just been told I won&#x27;t be receiving my CS degree. I came in as an English major because my grades weren&#x27;t good enough to enter the competitive CS program at my school, so I just took CS courses on override. But here too, my grades were not good enough and I won&#x27;t be allowed to transfer into the major. I&#x27;ll have to settle for an informatics degree, and after graduation get a CS degree from WGU or something like that.<p>I suppose I&#x27;m looking for validation from anybody else who had a tortured academic path. I&#x27;m a little sick of being told I am not good enough because I don&#x27;t meet the metrics.
