Failed my first class ever so now I feel like the worst person ever for using aid money for a summer class and not reaching out enough to my professor and not being able to comprehend things fast enough

Don’t beat yourself up, learn from this 🙂 It takes longer to comprehend things and you didn’t reach out to your professor? The solution isn’t the taking longer to comprehend things, but rather the reaching out to your prof. It’s a little expensive lesson, but it’s a lesson worth learning that you can take on for the rest of your life! 🫶

DON’T FEEL BAD. I was a straight A student my entire life and basically my whole identity was getting good grades. then I got to college and mental health plummeted and I’ve now failed 3 classes. it has sucked but just realize that your worth is not based on a grade

I wanna add to this too, OP, that perhaps you’ve lived most of your life accomplishing things all on your own. But in this next season of your life, one of the main things you’ll need to learn and embrace is reaching out to others for help for therein lies your success. 🫶 There’s a saying, if you wanna run fast, run alone. If you wanna run far run together.
