I won't go into details on how i ended up as a drop out. Suffice it to say it was a very long hard fought battle and obviously i failed. That was eons ago, or so it seems to me. Now i'm married and have a kid. I have the motivation, the means (which i didn't have much of back then) and the maturity to complete my studies. I am highly interested in pursuing a career in translations and checked out formal studies related to it in the country of my husband. I found out i have a talent for learning foreign language quite fast and good but it's still not enough to make a good translator of a secondary language. Everybody is entitled to one mistake they say, but my one big mistake keeps haunting me back and is also keeping me from moving on and becoming a better me. What should i do? Are drop-outs really doomed in the academic world already? Are my dreams of pursuing higher education (masteral) doomed to remain as they are, a dream? Should i resign my fate to being a good housewife?

Of course there's hope!  People go back to school after dropping out ALL the time.  Call and speak with an adviser or admissions counselor at a school you'd like to attend, they'll be able to answer all your questions.

Best of luck!

Absolutely not, you can go back to school and receive a degree in a language.  You can take night courses, enroll full time or even take online courses (most at your convenience).  Some people enroll in med school at age forty, there is no reason to let a past mistake hold you back from pursuing your ambitions.
