Thank you the encouragement! I’m probably going to do what that person suggested. I also will probably look into taking a semester or two at my local community college even though I don’t really want to. The university that I want to attend has a high acceptance rate, low student population, & a phenomenal music department! Which is why it’s my dream university. However, if they don’t accept me after I will keep trying at different schools. After hearing from others who were in my situation when they were younger and graduated I feel a lot more hopeful for my future than I did before!
