How to get back study motivation?

And it really doesn't help when my class mates, teachers and clinical instructors are telling me that I'm in wrong education... That I'm too smart for nursing school. *****!?!? Yes, I get very good grades in practically everything even tough I'm single mother of five and my youngest is chronically ill due premature birth (he is 25weeker with sever bpd and is cpap dependant night time due apneas). But this is my choice, I want to do this and nothing else. Why can't ppl get it. I'm having really thought time and re-evaluating my decisions... Why can't I just have the confidence to not care about what other ppl say? All this combined with what I wrote before. I'm bit lost at the moment.

I don't know what motivates you so you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

For me, through three college degrees, it's always been to keep my eye on the long-term goal and then take the daily and hourly steps required in order to achieve it.

I also set goals like, "I will earn every possible point in the class" or "I will take the high score on every exam."

Ultimately, my motivation in education is money... and the better I do in school, the more likely I am to get a good job and earn money, as soon as possible.

Figure out for yourself what motivates you and then reaffirm that for yourself as often as needed.

Ultimately, it comes down to the Nike cliche: "Just do it."
