We all fail. The trick is to try, try again. It’s not who is the smartest or the best, it is who is the most persistent.
I have failed at SO many things, but I’m drawing a blank trying to come up with something. So that’s says enough about failures 😂 We live, learn and move on!
But let’s see….
Ok, biggest one probably? I did a program that I truly excelled at. I got raving reviews, graduated, was all set to move on with a new degree. AFTER I’d already walked graduation I got called into the directors office. One of the instructors had lost one of my papers proving I’d passed a clinical. Mind you, you can’t redo clinicals once all is said and done. Paperwork was done before everyone left each day. At the end the semester there was a clinical makeup day, and I was actually the only student who didn’t have to redo any because I had passed them all. Now, tell me how I had been passing all the way up until AFTER graduation, but then suddenly they decided to fail me? I tried cooperating with them. I signed a non disclosure agreement. I even agreed to retake the class the following year. They threw obstacle after obstacle at me until 2 weeks before class started they suddenly said I had to buy something that cost over $2,000! That was my breaking point. I remember reading that email and then just screaming! I cried and cried. I finally decided it wasn’t worth it. If fought up to that point because they had wronged me. I’d already found a job that had way better benefits and pay. So I finally just decided to let them win and move on with my life. I still feel like a failure when really I was just incredibly wronged. I wish I’d been able to afford a lawyer at the time. But ya know, life has worked out pretty well for me and that degree is entirely meaningless to me now. Life works in mysterious ways!
Just yesterday I forgot my purse at a doctor’s office. Last week I tried to get my van to start for 15 minutes before realizing I had the wrong keys! 😂 Pregnancy brain has me screwing up everything right now haha.
This too shall pass! Just keep chuggin along ^_^
