awww.. same thing happens to me. everytime i tell some1 i wanna do nursing, they tell me how hard it is. theres never the but the hard work is worth it part. u know u want it, so fight for it. bc trust me, this is real world, no1 is gonna hold up big signs saying, "kudos" or "you can do it". u have to beleive in urself and trust God and yourself. when ppl try 2 stop u from achieving ur full potential, know that ur in the right path. and ur been reaslistic. ur not just sittin in some corner dreamin, you are workin at it so just keep workin hard, bc just as bad deeds never go unpunished, hard work is never unfruitful. ps- think of it as weight loss. u get frustrated, you don't see results soon, but if u keep workin on it, you get the output u deserve. so cheer up :)
