Currently, I am a freshman at Mount Holyoke College.
Due to a change in my family’s financial situation, I will have to transfer back home to Seattle University. (Regardless of the issues my family currently faces, they still will not milk a dime of financial aid).
I have dreamed of attending law school at Georgetown or Yale. Now, I fear that my dreams will evaporate because of this forced transfer. I am a very good student and earning a 3.8 GPA with a very challenging curriculum and I participate in a fair amount of activities.
I would like to specialize my law degree in business and finance or perhaps international law (I’m not sure as of yet, but I’m only 18).
What do you think? From your professional perspective, do you think I am in trouble and have ruined my life?
I want to be successful financially and professionally, as well as be incredibly independent and without worry. This is what I’ve been groomed for and now this horrible thing has happened. Am I over?
