Life Update...I Just Failed

I just failed my first class ever...but this is why I am happy

Growing up I struggled with the idea of being “perfect” I wanted to be the best in the class, at my job, as a daughter, with anything. I was an overachiever and still am a workaholic. I was and still am this way because I struggle with associating my value and worth to how well I can succeed. A couple of years ago I would be parked in my car having a meltdown thinking I lost my worth.

But today as disappointed as I am...I am so proud of myself. This semester I was “single mommin” it while Braden was working in Colorado. It was the hardest thing I did. Most nights I was lucky to get four hours of sleep but I worked hard to find time to study. I am proud of myself because I learned so much in my pharmacology class and I tried my very best. I am so proud of my classmates who succeeded in this class but I now know that because I didn’t pass this class it doesn’t mean I won’t be successful it just means I have a detour. I’m so thankful that I have learned this information so when I retake this class it will hopefully click and make sense.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not alone and others are out there that are struggling and measuring their worth by their success and I want to tell you, you are worth more than you ever know! Failing doesn’t mean you won’t be successful! Failing doesn’t mean you do not have what it takes! All it means is you have to brush it off and try again. I will succeed next time and if not I will try again. You will succeed too just don’t give up on yourself!
