For me many times i felt it's better to stop but i have many dreams. the question is how can i reached my dreams if i stop? even I encounter difficulties like today, time for submission of our project, of course more pressure and worries. what i can't pass it today can i passed the subject?

I stop scholl when I was 18. Now I'm 30 and wish I had time to go back. So if you have the time do it you may regret it later if you dont.

I stop schooling and I did not finished my college course, because I got married to early. Now I regret it so much that I never had the chanced to finished it. But that was past, now there are schools that offered courses that I can take up even I'm already a mom, I was enrolled now to a computer class and I was happy to be in a school again. That's why my only advice to you is to continue your study just enjoy the days that you are in the school because someday you will need it and you will be grateful in the outcome of your sacrifice in finishing your studies.

Even if my family encountered some financial problems when I was in college I never think of stopping my studies. I dont want to be left behind thats why I find ways myself. After high school my parents told me to stop because that time I had a sister who is already about to graduate in college and she would be spending more money. but I was insistent so I was able to enroll though for a course not my first priority, I just grab the opportunity because I was accepted with 100% free tuition fee. But worst comes to worst when I decided not to continue with my course after the first semester, I wanted to transfer to another school with my dream course but my parents still cant afford to send me to other school that time, thats why I was forced to stop. But you see, out of my determination and hard work, even if I stop for 1 semester, still I was able to graduate the same time frame with my batch who are continously studying. So if you have the resources and the chance, dont ever think of stopping. Just continue with your studies so you could finish it early.

Hello There. No, I never thought of that one when I was studying. I just love being in school eventhough there are lots of pressures. I love my college life as well.

never stop schooling. it will surely pay off. i know it's touch especially if financial problems get in the way but i'm telling you, life is tough for those who have bachelor degrees, the more tougher it will sure get for those who don't have it. i know it also depends on your strategy but having a diploma and transcript of records with good grades a good ticket to getting a good, decent job. after all, it's not just the grades that you'll learn but school is also a training ground to be disciplined and responsible in dealing with pressure of work. :)

wait until you get to be in the real world and you will be sorry if you decide to drop out. what you are experiencing is just the tip of the iceberg which you have to overcome and if you can't , how do you think you will fare in the jungle where we are in. school is a training ground, you are being hone and being prepared for what going to happen after school. it is not what you have done but it is how you did it that matters. go to school!

Keep at it, all this hard work will pay off. Trust me I know, there have been many times I have felt like quitting but I perservered. For example I wanted to quit year 12 when I found out I was pregnant, but I stayed, best decision I ever made. Then I did my business degree for 3 years. Had a year off and then went on to do my teaching degree, 1 and 1/2 years. The teaching degree was the hardest assignment after assignment, plus doing the practical work too at the schools and trying to be a good mum at the same time. There were many times I thought I would not make it or couldn't handle it anymore. But you need to look at the bigger picture, your dream and how much better your future is going to be when you are finished. That will give you the drive to finish it. BUt I think the key is to also give yourself some time to relax too and don't burn yourself out. All the best!
