Dejitaru gave too much, yet not enough

get into university
Massive fail :| 3 months ago

It’s strange really, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Or in this case, my AS-level grades, in my eyes, were absolutely diabolical.

They were as follows:
Computing – E
Mathematics – C
Chemistry – C
Biology – B
Psychology – A
General Studies – A

Now, considering I need at least 3 A’s for medicine, preferably in Maths, Chem and Bio, I’ve failed myself miserably.
I’m scared, really, I don’t believe I can pick it up…
You see, all through my life, I’ve been able to ignore anything bad that’s going on, and just truck away with my work, and I’ve always gotten the best grades.
But now, I have cracked, and I cannot deal with it any more.
I feel like the world’s worst failure, and yet, those grades are not BAD, hell, they’re better than average.

You can’t be a doctor if you’re average. At least not if you live on a council estate, alone, without parents or family, and all you can think about is how much of a failure you are to them.

Annalinde Louw wonders why this site is so quiet lately :-?

Hell, I know what you mean about feeling like a failure. My grades all through university sucked mostly. But I got through it. It took me 5.5 years of studying through correspondence but I am finally graduating. Just give yourself time. You will get there! Don’t feel like a failure. Your grades aren’t bad – it’s not like you got all Es for the subjects you need As in. Going from a C to an A is possible… You can do it! Go for it! :-D
