Just a year ago, I was going to give up going to college/university. Why? Well these clumps of thoughts came to me on my last day of high school one section was relieved 'No more school yes!,' the other frightened. Frightened of going through 3-4 more years of anxiety, panic and stress. Yeah, I was ready to give up going.
These frightened thoughts included:
'Am I good enough to compete with all these confident students'
'What's the point, no one would accept me'
'Would i be able to cope?'
Yeah as I said "I was almost going to give up." Until i met this brilliant lady named Roseanne whom happened to be a careers advisor.
She told me 'Giving up gives you no chance but actually trying gives you a chance.' I was a bit baffled by what she said and yeah it took me awhile to understand it. Basically, Roseanne told me about giving up and how my emotions at the period of my life might not allow me to make the best decisions for my future. So instead of going with my heart I just went with what i knew.
I knew it wasn't going to be as bad. I'll probably love University and who knows it might relieve my SA.
Now, I'm loving it. i made a few more friends and I'm fulfilling my passion full career. :)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI read some of your posts and wanted to let you know that I've enjoyed reading them! A similar quote struck me one time during a previous Literature class. On the wall it said something like "If you quit, the game's over. If you persist, you still have a chance. -Lloyd Alexander." It was a pretty simple quote, but for some reason it really opened my eyes. It actually made me think of mathematical percentages, and that yes, even if it looks like you have no chance and might as well quit, there actually still is a chance, no matter how small it may be. I still remember that quote and think of it when I'm starting to have doubts if I should give in or keep trying. I recently started my own blog http://theshynessproject.wordpress.com/, and I hope you check it out sometime! Feel free to leave me comments also!
