Okay so your nineteen and in college. Should I assume you are at the New York School of Design. If so good for you that school is not easy to get into and harder to stay in.
Actually you sound a lot like my cousin, a graduate of the New York school of design. She now lives in Paris and has her own Design House. I think that is what you call them. Her label is not well known here in the states but she is very big in the Asian countries.
Now she didn't just run off to Paris and open her own design house. She failed here in the states. Then worked for some well known designers before trying again. I believe it was on her third try that she was successful.
I tell you all of this to show you that life does not always follow our dreams. But with will power and sticktoitiveness your dreams can be obtained. When dreams and reality don't come together we get dejected. We fail to see the point of pushing on. The point of pushing on is that the dream can be had, if the right foundation is laid. That is what is happening in school right know.
You are in college to learn the fundamentals needed to follow your dream. It may not be what you thought it would be; it almost never is. In the end though you are doing what you need to do to make something of yourself, to make a better life for yourself and to hopefully enjoy the fruits of your studies.
While one never stops learning in life, the formal education you are getting in college will end. The more you put into it with study and other tasks the more you will get out of it. This is your focus right now.
I am old enough to be your grandfather and can tell you unbiasedly that you are great. That you are a beautiful person. You should believe in yourself as your family does. Sure school is tuff; it is suppose to be as you are preparing for a career.
If you are in the New York School for Design you are not at a party school like some of your high school friends went off to. This school is training you to take your place in this world. Unlike other colleges where your friends may graduate with degrees with which there are no jobs for. You will be able to make a life for yourself.
My advise: Assess your goals. If they remain unchanged stick with what you have.
