...I'm 19 years old. I attended community college for a half of a semester and I didn't do so well. Now because of financial issues, I haven't been able to go back.
Does this consider me a failure? I've been called that recently...this is really a hard thing for me. I've applied for scholarships...and student loans, but nothing comes through.
I don't have that kind of money to go back right now. So my question is...am I a loser if I don't go back right away?

Hell no! Just because you run into some financial trouble and have to hold off your schooling, doesn't mean that you're a loser or failure. You're starting out in life and the road is never easy. Ignore those that call you loser, and keep going with your life. Go back to school when you can. Good luck.

If you have financial issues and still would like to attend college, you can apply for a job AT the college - they need workers of all kinds - and then you can be making a salary and should qualify for tuition reimbursement, which means you can take a certain number of classes free each semester. win win situation. Why not go to your old community college and apply? If they know you want to attend the school it could work in your favor.

No. Some people need time off and go back later. You're not a loser as long as you work (or are actively seeking work) when you're not in school. Well, exceptions are for stay at home parents or those who are severely disabled and cannot work.

Would i say loser? NO. But I bet if you had the drive, you could get back to school. Maybe not how you want, but you could buy a class here and there, work full time, etc, etc. The only time you become a loser is when you know you could do more, but don't, and hate yourself for it.

"DON'T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE"
You should know yourself right now and your effort to continue your education should be appluaded not ridiculed. I sure do hope these aren't friends telling you this, because with friends like that "who needs enemies".
You are a winner, as long as you try your hardest and do your best.
Good Luck.
Try looking for a job where the company will help pay for school, I offer this to my employees.

Of course not. Have you heard of the caddying program? You caddy and you may get scholarships. I'm not sure if it's only for younger students. Sorry.
