I withdrew from school today. I can only stay in the dorms until this weekend but I haven’t told my dad I did this. He will have nothing good to say, since he sacrificed a lot to get me here. When my mom died she wanted me to go to college and I did it for her but I really don’t want a four year degree. I am way more into working with my hands with things like cars or diesel engines. I am good at it, it relaxes me and I enjoy the challenge of troubleshooting and repairing.

I am thinking of enrolling in the vocational college in my hometown in January but how do I explain quitting when I should have talked to dad first. My roommate told me I should just call him tomorrow when he gets home from work and then start packing up my stuff and facing it since it is inevitable that I go home. He thinks going to a 4 year school will make me a better person, but for me it isn’t about a white collar job, I just want to work and be happy. This s****.
