Due to the turn of events in life, I am beginning anew at 30. It will be quite a journey, and though part of me looks forward to seeing where God takes me, part of me is praying really hard that I will let Him take me there. My goal is to become a para-legal. Which is weird, because my huge interest has never been anywhere near law. I love animals, but as I have looked into jobs that have to do with animals, I seem to go.... No thanks. I could use a lot of encouragement to help get me to believe that God has given me what I need, and that I am beautiful to Him, and capable of attaining my goal. It is scary to start. "What if I fail, then I will KNOW i suck." comes to mind a lot. But I have to remember that failing is to never even try. To succeed is to try, to push forward through all you can. If you do not make your destination, at least I gave it my all.

Congrats on your decision to go back to school. I hope it goes well. I've asked myself the question "what if I fail?" a lot, but then I also wonder "what if I succeed?" Failure is a part of life and simply tells us that there is something we must work harder on. Eventually if you keep trying you will graduate with the degree you are striving for. I am in my second year of college and have had my share of hardships and letdowns. I always pick myself up and keep trying till I learn what needs to be learned. Hopefully it will pay off after the next few years with a degree and a good job.

Hi,
It depends upon oneself according to his ability, dedication and finally the mental capability to attain success. May be it the brain one has, the memory power those are needed to get pass those mental excercises to be a graduate. Hope not to count the chickens before they hatch. Confidence may be fulfilled.
