Its been a long time coming and I’ve finally realized that slow and steady can still win the race. This is for everyone who has been dealt the same kind of cards as I have and have felt so lost that success seems nearly nonexistent. For everyone that’s just trying to find a purpose in life, a motivation to get an education to pursue your dream career. Its been a long road of attempts and breaks with school for me because I just can’t seem to find an area of study that keeps me interested and when times are rough it was easier to take a break than to stop and reevaluate things and change things up a bit. Because let’s face it, change is scary, asking for help is scary, feeling like you will never reach the finish line is scary especially as we get older and we look around us and see all the young bucks just cruising on by and surpassing us. But I’ve learned that we cannot compare our lives to another person’s. Wisdom comes with age. Failure is necessary to achieve success. Don’t let your mistakes define you, learn from them and use them as examples to do things differently next time. School can be rough and get to the best of all of us. But take some time and utilize your resources around you. Whether its friends, family, work, or even forums such as this one you can find inspiration anywhere. Take your time and don’t rush yourself to the point of a break down, take one step at a time and don’t give up. You got this!
Thank you for this inspiring post. I really needed to read this today!! College confidential needs more of this kind of support!!
That makes me so happy to hear. I agree, there’s some days where things just get so rough its nice to know I’m not alone. (: Best wishes to you.
