Now it's looking like a bad decision, but I don't know how I could reverse it.Longer story: My freshman year of college I enrolled in a military college. I wanted to be an officer in the Army but when I got there they said "no" cause I have asthma. But I could still go to college,I would just wouldn't do the military afterword.During that time I was undergoing a lot of stress (family related, not school related). That and all the stress of the school (like all the yelling and running they made us do) I decided I didn't want to do that anymore and I quit.So I went to a different college next semester. It's a fine college but I was still stressed out about family stuff and when I left the military college I realized how empty I felt. I ended up getting REALLY bad grades that semester.So now I'm in my third semester of college trying to get better grades and it's mostly working out. But I really miss the military school and I cried this morning cause I'll probably never get to back. Cause my grades suck and transfering is difficult anyway. I just feel like I threw such a great thing I had in the trash and now I can't get over it.

 If you get better grades, you could graduate and teach at a military school - that way you could return to the environment of the military school without going into the army. You could spend the rest of your life in the school that you liked if you wind up teaching at it! The only thing that you should have learned from the experience is that quitting and giving up doesn't get the job done, buckling down and persevering does. You can do this, seriously. The only person that decides your fate is you. Get going!
