I wish I had gone straight to my Master's Degree. This doesn't mean I still can't because I still plan to but I just wish I didn't take the time off. Granted the time off was well needed because I needed to move back home to be with my family. I have a few options as far as achieving my Masters in Family Counseling. Im just SO fearful of a few different things including the GRE's! I am the WORST test taker on this planet bc my anxiety gets the best of me and I simple freak out.
I actually have a few fears about going back to school. I know I did very well when I was at ASU (graduated suma cum laude) but I had my A.D.D. under control which is something that I am not medicated for now. Unfortunately even if I had insurance they don't cover the medication so it is just one other expense that I do not want to have to be responsible for right now. But when it is under control, I am a complete different person! I have confidence and I believe in myself. It really makes a huge difference to me. So since I won't have it controlled it makes me loose confidence in myself. This is something that I really need to overcome. I need to regain confidence in myself that I can do it and I can succeed. I also need to remind myself that I am not expected to get another 3.9 GPA and that I should lower my exceptionally high expectations of myself... then the fear will less likely hold me back. (See! I know exactly what I need to do.. just gotta put it into action!!)- easier said then done.
