I finally finished university

TLDR i got adhd, it took 6 years, i passed.
So my story starts in 2011, i was living with my granddad and quite content with my life even though it wasn't really going anywhere. Sadly my granddad passed and i was left having to move back to my moms place which while i love her we clash a lot. This whole situation kicked me into gear so i decided to go to university and try make something of myself. I started in 2012 and at first things went well, my course mate was in the flat below so we used to work together on all the coursework/projects during my first year, after my first year things changed i got a part time bar job which ended up been nearly full time, i was drinking most nights after work as that is what you do and my course mates lived across the city. Needless to say i failed this year, the next year i try even harder and fail again, only managing to pass during the summer resit period, i go into my second year and this time i quit my job, i failed this year but not before i start to realise something isn't right. At the start of my resit of my second year i seen a psychologist who diagnosed me with AD(H)D or which is Attention Deficit Discord with hyperactive tenancies as well as anxiety caused due to constant struggles. I eventually pass and go into my final year by which point i had decided firmly i wanted to go into teaching, this is when another hurdle happens, my teaching placement... i was placed in a poor performing school and quickly realised while i love the idea of teaching the current system is so poor i would drive myself deep into depression as i was struggling with anxiety after only a couple months this lead to me to fail my final year and had to appeal based on personal problems to resit, they got granted and after another year i finally passed. This was a massive challenge but i never gave up and i am happy i have passed with a 2:2, yes its not great but given the struggles i think its fantastic.
ps sorry for poor grammar i'll be honest i can't be arsed to fix it i just wanted to quickly share my story with you guys.
