I screwed up early on due to a boat load of thing no excuses I know. But grand parents dying a year apart totally broke me as I was extremely close to them, working a full time job while in school. Just totally made me do poorly in some classes.

I feel too old to go back to school and start over, I know 26 is young. But there’s 26 year olds 3 years out of there degree and I’m here the manager of a retail job. I know what I wanna go for but already a year set back to replace all the poor grades. Anyone go through something similar, how did you bounce back?

TL;DR: Screwed up early on in school, between grandparents passing and a full time job. It caused me to perform poorly and stop going. Looking for advice on anyone who went through similar set backs and how you bounced back. As a 26 year old I need to get it done, I’m not getting any younger.
