It’s that time of year again. , Summer is coming to an end and everyone is back on their grind . For most, that means going back to school. Me personally, I cringe when I hear the word school just because I know there’s a wave of anxiety coming my way. I think that the majority of my anxiety stems from the fear of not being able to excel. As I stated in a previous post, i was just an “average student.” I’ve struggled with almost all types of academic material. From basic comprehension to chemistry. I think my fear of my past experiences with school are what drive my current anxieties now.
When I tell people I’m going back to school, I get responses like, “ Ooo, Sabrina why put yourself through all that stress?” Believe me, I always ask myself the same question. “Is it even worth it?” To be honest, my answer is yes because I know where I want to be a couple years from now , and to get there, school is definitely part of the equation.
A few years back, I didn’t think I was capable of finishing college. Those years came with so many obstacles and tears, but God allowed me to graduate this past May with my Associates. Now, I’m on the road to obtain my Bachelor’s in Exercise & Health Science at Umass Boston. Although some may say that school isn’t for everyone and that there have been individuals who have become successful without going to college, I would argue that some goals you have require a degree. With that said, I would suggest going back to school, especially if one of your goals specifically requires that degree. The journey sure won’t be easy, but it will definitely be worth it. I wish everyone a successful and safe academic year for both teachers and students.
