I Wish

I wish I can go back to school .. Every year around this time, everyone is getting ready to be back to school, I wish I could do the same.
I used to be a good student throughout high school, I had good grades in college as well. Suddenly, I failed a test and I know for sure that I shouldn't have failed, it turned out there was a mistake. The professor refused to fix it. It was my last year in college, I had a fight with him and since the system is corrupted here, I was on a black list, and I didn't pass the year. I repeated that year 3 times, but I still had same bad grades. I gave up and dropped out, I found a job first as a tourist guide then as an assistant. To work I had get a document that says that I will never go back to school. I don't have the right to get my scholar file. So now I can't go back to school, and my heart is breaking. Because after years and years of hard work and surviving terrible education system, I don't have a college degree. I was so ambitious and I wanted to go for Masters and PhD. Now I don't have even a simple college degree.
I wish I can go back to school and get my degree. I swear no matter how many times I complained about school and studying and homework, I would do anything to go back.
I'm not allowed to do that here in my country, and I don't have money to apply for abroad school, even if I had money, I don't have my scholar file.
and now I'm just an assistant when I can do much much better.

You talk as though you are in a country where things are very different... i am sorry if that is so.. in many countries such as the UK students are able to go back and study as adults.. adult education. .yes you tend to have to pay for the education which isnt easy, is hard work and you have to make a lot of sacrifices.. but it can be done and it is worth it.. many get a better job through that and that allows them to study more and save for uni/college

it's different here in Tunisia, we can't go back to uni, there are some training programs and classes but they're not as important as a degree. And even if I get enough money, I'm not allowed to get my scholar record. No uni will accept me without that record sadly
