Failure drives a lot of people to desperation, especially when there’s so much at stake. And you knew this better than anyone, didn’t you? For you, college had always been one challenge after another. From having to work full time, to not really even knowing if your major was worthwhile for you.
But at least you were close to the end. There was just one problem; one final class. And let’s be honest, things weren’t looking good. Sure, you had a good GPA for every other class, but this was your capstone, and failing would mean you have to stay back another year.
You did everything you could think of to pass. You studied harder than you had ever before, you attended all of the office hours, you even took extra hours at work to pay for private tutoring.
But it still didn’t help. Its almost like I had it out for you…
And thats how I found you in my office one night, after you had asked for my earliest possible appointment. I could practically taste the desperation off of you, especially with that tiny outfit you had changed into. I didn’t believe you for a second when you told me you didn’t have time to change.
