   Just as an update, I passed my Med-Surg 2 class and finished the semester in the Dean's Honor list!! I just focused and made my classes more of a priority. It was more of a decision than anything else. I feel a lot more mature because of it. Sometime...

   Inori, no I'm definitely not offended! You're right and I've been feeling this way but could never put my finger on the reason for the sabotage. I am afraid of failure. It's weird because I just heard a sermon on humility and arrogance today and it g...
