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.

Perhaps you are where you were meant to be.

I keep telling myself that.. I keep saying that I can build myself and my knowledge by myself but degree is important for a better status at work, even if I have a better knowledge than someone with a college degree, they would still get a better post. Life is unfair but well

Life is unfair, but you have to play with the cards you were dealt. Maybe it will take you in another direction, one you didn't/ couldn't anticipate and that is uniquely suited to you. I had something like that happen to me. I couldn't do the mAjor I wanted, due to it having too many triggers, but then as I was going about life one day, a woman made me make a promise, one that is sacred to me, and that I'll never break, but is very much suited to me, more so than my chosen major.
