Sure, I&#x27;ll share. After my rejections, I kind of fell apart during senior year of high school. I was extremely depressed and ended up almost failing all of my classes. In the end, I barely made it to graduation and was more relieved than happy about finishing.<p>Post-graduation, I went straight to college and tried to put the past behind me. I started off pretty strong, but it was clear that I still lacked maturity, and my grades took a nosedive during my second semester.<p>I ended up being disqualified from my scholarships, so I left school for a year to figure things out. I worked full-time and took courses at community college to keep myself busy. It took a lot of effort and introspection, but I finally transferred back to college and started working on my computer science degree.<p>Now I&#x27;m doing much better, having grown a lot as a person. I&#x27;ve also landed two internships since then and gotten involved with plenty of extracurriculars and social activities on the side. My path wasn&#x27;t as smooth as it could&#x27;ve been, but I don&#x27;t regret much about my experiences. Failing at a young age taught me to shrug off shortcomings and made me a stronger person for the future.
