no longer a 4.0 student
so i finished the term with an A- in one of my psychology courses today and i’m discouraged.. i’m a perfectionist and i’ve put in so much effort to keep this 4.0 because i don’t have the perfect record in life. i have a criminal record and i feel i’ll never get hired in the real world. i struggled with addiction and ended up with 2 DUI’s in the thick of it. i’m now post-rehab and sober and on the journey to become an addiction counselor myself. why am i so discouraged? it’s one A- i blame myself, because my projects were late. in all honesty, i switched bipolar meds and went into a depression swing that left me unable to leave the bed. this obviously affected my school work and, therefore, my grades. am i wrong for feeling so discouraged? i can still graduate summa cum laude… so
