I know my mental disabilities, stress, financial issues, family problems, & Hurricane Katrina contributed to me doing poorly in college, but I graduated with a 2.3 avg. & had a 2.8 avg. in my major. I know I could've done better, but the problems I had held me back. Now I'm in a grad PREP program, back in school, trying to see if I can raise my GPA so I can try to get into Grad school, which there's no guarantee I'll get accepted. Now, I got a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish & nothing to show for it, since the curriculum emphasized on Medieval Spanish & "Courtly Love". & very little to do with Grammar, vocabulary, & the language itself. & most of the courses were taught about Spanish subjects in the English language or bilingually, which wasn't any help. & I graduated from college last year & haven't had a Spanish course since 2005. & I lost my vocabulary. Now I have to learn Grammar all over again & study much harder to become the translator/interpreter that I dream to be.
