Since I was already feeling upset about how I wasn 't handling things well last week, Monday kind of just slapped me in the face and made things worse.
I met with a UNM academic advisor, and I would say that I do not particularly like him because he made me question myself as to why I am even going to school and he basically made me feel like I would not be able to succeed as a pre-med student.
I got offered a transfer scholarship and a grant from UNM; the catch is that I have to be enrolled in 15 credit hours there and I cannot use a consortium agreement, which basically states that I am taking a total of 15 credit hours between two schools.
At CNM, I got a tentative offer to receive the lottery. If I continue to do well in the courses …show more content…
This wasn 't necessarily a surprise to me, but I think that seeing all of the courses that I had to take was a wake up call for me.
When I saw all of the courses I would have to take, I knew that I would be capable of getting through them, despite how difficult they might be.
He made me feel like I wouldn 't be able to do well in the pre-med courses, which he might have done unintentionally, but I just started feeling upset.
I told the UNM advisor that I would feel more comfortable if I just focused on first getting my bachelors degree, and then starting the pre-med courses.
He asked "are you sure? That would take forever. How long are you willing to be in school for?"
At this point, I was incredibly annoyed with him because he has been the most unhelpful advisor that I have ever had and I have had five. I told him that I didn 't really mind how long I would be in school for, just as long as I finish what I start. His response was "well, it 's your life, so you can do whatever you want."
I don 't know why, but I started to feel discouraged, like maybe I am trying to accomplish something that is out of my
