[quote=Anonymous]1- You sound like you're INCREDIBLY hard on yourself. Everyone has made poor choices at some poinnt in life. You HAVE to forgive yourself otherwise you won't move forward.

2- Positive attitude is the key. It's not an exaggeration to say that people will notice your negative attitude and treat you accordingly. Excercise is a great confidence booster- even if you only take a five minute walk- get outside and get moving.

3. It's GREAT that you've gone back to school! Think of how far you've come and be proud of yourself. I don't think any degree is ever wasted. Just make sure that it's really what you want to do. Does your school have career services? Make an appointment to discuss your short and long term goals and options.

There is always hope for everyone - especially people who WANT to change.

Volunteer work can ABSOLUTELY be put on a resume. Visit idealist.org. They have tons of volunteer opportunities listed. Volunteer in a field about which you feel passionate. How about an organization that helps children (boys and girls club comes to mind- i have a contact there if you're interested)? If you are a reliable and proactive volunteer your supervisor will be a great reference.

Make a list to put on your fridge. List all of the positive changes you've made in your life in the last six years and then list all of the positive changes you want to make in the next six years. Look at it every morning and every night. When you start to beat yourself up look at how far you've come. And when you start to give up- look at how far you want to go.
