I need help with my question but I know people can't really tell me how to do this. I know someone in here had to go through this all in college. Let me start off. I have a LD and ADHD and just found out two years after my hell in a university. I read well but comprehension is bad a times, I can't understand writing papers still and had help in college, in spelling my my vowels end up backwards all the time and I still can't remember math well. I can relearn and it will go away over time. I am a 28 yr old female. Graduated with a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Business. I actually failed out once and kicked out of college for a semester. It took me six years to complete but I did start off at a junior college before going to the university level. I made a 2.3 when I graduated. I felt completely exhausted when learning. My gpa went up and then low and then lower during those years. I actually got to a 1.8 gpa. Six months after graduating I decided to get into Digital Design through the Art Institute Online. I did excellent. Made a 3.8 gpa. Go figure! Now I want to someday get my masters but there's a problem. My gpa with my ba was a 2.3 and most program I have seen for LD specialist is 3.0 gpa requirement. When I got my BA I minored in business. I recently looked at the school I went to catalog to look at the marketing online degree program. It's still is the same basic education courses which I have and my minor just about covers the core courses. 18 hrs is needed for the concentration. Should I try to do this so down the road I can get into a grad program to become a LD specialist, therapist and career counselor? I have to get to a 3.0 gpa. Or will online courses become a mistake. I don't know. Art was easy for me online. I don't mind doing graphic/web design/marketing/photography/painting for a while because it is another love for me. I was also considering going to cosmetology school or massage therapy but somewhat feel I'll be going backwards. I am so confused. I have barely worked these past two years. Something keeps feeling like there is something missing. I sure wish I knew about my LD and ADHD way before college.
