For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
School, future, career.. Need Advice!!!
I just broke down in tears, I never felt so weak and vulnerable in my life. Let me start off by saying i made straight A’s in high school, im a smart girl, with a great head on my shoulders. I moved from Philly, to L.A, 2 weeks after graduating high school to attend FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising). My last quarter I had to submit an appeal because my GPA was low and i risked my financial aid getting taking away
(FIDM is no joke, its very intense and our work load is intense, its not like a regular university where its mostly just power points, presentatioins, essays and book work.. theres so much more than that to FIDM..Our drop out rate is 50% just so you can get an idea)
Anyway my appeal got approved, My GPA increased above the requirement, and i was advised to take the minimum of 4 classes (12 units), how ever i failed a class, and had to submit another appeal to be approved or disapproved by the head of financial aid, when i was talking to my advisor about it she acted like a second appeal was not an option, im guessing because its rare that they approve a second appeal, which lead to my breakdown 15 minutes ago when I arrived home
I work in a fashion showroom downtown as a sales rep (managing fashion brands and getting them into boutiques and stores), which is rare because people attend school to get where im at in my career, and im only 19. I have two clients/brands as of now, the more clients I get in the showroom, the more i get paid. Since I have 2 clients i am only paid $500 a month (My 2 clients are also the ones that pay the least) this can change if i bring in more clients that is willing to pay more. This is the job i wanted coming out of college, so regardless i would be here, my boss is like an older sister to me. My ultimate goal is to own my own clothing line and sell it in my own chain of boutiques, just like bebe or bcbg, which is exactly what my major was about.
(My mom pays my rent and bills, i have roommates so its not as expensive)
Now im waiting here at home to find out if i was approved or not its been 3 hours, and im waiting for the call.
If you were me and if you didnt get approved, would you drop out, continue working at the showroom get more clients to get more money, save for the clothing line, and posibly have a second job at hooters, so i can get a place of my own and a car? or get personal loans and continue with school which is what i really do not want to do because of the personal loans part and continue with the showroom and possibly hooters.. I do want to finish my education and graduate from FIDM though :( Opinions please!!

This samething happen to me last Friday. I have to sit a semester out, which I really didn't want because I am almost finished as well.This only made mad for a minute.Because it happen b4 as well. Well I basically am taking it day by day. Don't be so hard on yourself. Give yourself more credit. Take advantage of this free time and enjoy it. Things happen for a reason.

Without reading all the comments I see that you got approved..so Congrats! Now that you have gotten a second chance how do you plan on keeping your grades and passing all the classes per the terms of your financial aid. First you have to identify reasons why you may have failed and have a plan of action that way you don't go down that road again..
I remember my freshman year first semester I failed and was put on the opposite of deans list granted I was 16 in college but I had to snap out of it fast before I got kicked out college. Point is I had to identify what I did wrong and fix it going forward
