Gonna Redo

I've been overwhelmed with coursework, deadlines, and misunderstanding. Because of my college having a "quantity over quality" mindset, I've been struggling. Speed isn't my usual. I prefer intelligence and quality. I'm about doing my best work even if it isn't as fast as what's expected.

My lack of speed is causing failing grades. After consulting my instructors about if it's possible to catch up( they don't except late work because it's automatic zero) or to do just the new work (so as not to get further behind) and get a passing grade, I was left with limited options.

It's impossible to obtain a passing grade so I either kept going with my classes and receive a zero in my courses or withdraw from my courses so my GPA wasn't effected. The sadness I felt knowing that my only choices are awful. But that is life sometimes. Sometimes you don't always have positive choices but you still have to choose anyway. Chose the withdraw option.

I'm really disappointed. Both in myself for my lack of speed, also to the college for lack of understanding and communication. Perhaps they weren't a good fit for me.

Maybe another college will be right for me instead.

Reminder for future me that things don't always go as expected, sometimes there's nothing else you can do, and always keep trying for your best effort.

Has anyone else felt like they weren't quick enough? Like they're effort put in wasn't matched with what little they got out of it? Has anyone had to go through any tough decisions like this?
