In undergrad, a "therapist" once told me that I will not get into grad school with my grades.

I don't quite know what possessed her to say such a thing - but that's besides the point.

I am now half way there.

If anyone tried to tell me I won't have a PhD under my belt, I'll show them.

This hasn't been an easy battle for me. I was under the impression this degree will go by with ease. That's not the case. But I'm ready to fight.
