“Failure after failure after failure. That was my life. I was a criminal for many years. I’ve been clean now for four years. I’m going here for welding. Right now I’m taking English, writing and math and staying square. I’m focused on staying out of jail. I don’t care about being ‘cool’ or what I thought was popular anymore. I’m staying free. Eating my own food. Wearing my own clothes. That’s all I’m about now. All my life, being locked up, I was tired of living that way. You can’t give up. If that’s the only card you have to play, that perseverance card, that’s all you need. I’m taking my time and being patient because I want to get good grades. I want to do welding because I’ve been rejected everywhere else because of how I look and my past. I also get to play with fire, so I’m pretty happy about that. People judge me like I’m a loser or weird or an outcast. They assume I’m stupid. I don’t say I want to prove them wrong because I know they’re wrong, but that’s good fuel to accomplish this goal.”

Best of luck with midterms! (We know you’ll ace them.) Remember, you didn’t come this far only to come this far. Keep going!

If you’re a student in need of free therapy, we have you covered. Read current student Yonata’s story below in his own words.

"I emerged from a profoundly isolating and depressing period during COVID, transitioning from a four-year school with feelings of failure and an avalanche of negative emotions. I felt like I had failed my hardworking parents, lost a newfound community and succumbed to depression, avoiding homework, work and even leaving my room…Fortunately, as the campus reopened, I stumbled upon the therapy services at Dallas College. Therapy was something I had heard about but couldn't afford, so Dallas College's provision of free counseling services for students was monumental. I experienced the unique dynamic of talking to someone who listened to me. This counselor helped me navigate life changes and confront my negative thought processes. She guided me to a healthier lifestyle, including exercise and healthier eating, ultimately improving my mental health. Thanks to her support, I not only joined the Student Government Association but also became a leader here. This journey was transformative and marked the beginning of my Dallas College experience." - Yonata, Dallas College student
