Expectations vs. reality


In the beginning of the semester i was so determined to reach my goals, mainly getting accepted into the School of Education, but sometimes life just happens. I didn't expect to be pregnant during college. Since the beginning of my pregnancy, everything changed physically, mentally and emotionally. I became tired each day or i wouldn’t feel good because of my morning sickness and it ruined my attendance in school. I felt like i never had enough energy to finish my homework or i would sleep longer than i should. I realized that being pregnant at this time shouldn't stop me from accomplishing my goals. I decided that i would try my best to apply into SOE whether i make it or not, but at least I'm trying. 
During the process of applying, i realized that my GPA didn't meet the requirement being a few points behind and i started to doubt myself like should i still continue and apply? I was so sad knowing my chances of getting accepted is very low, but i decided even if i knew i wouldn't get accepted this semester, i should turn in my portfolio anyway just to accomplish something out of it. The good thing is that i would also be ahead the next time i apply since i started on it. I feel like i have failed, but i remembered it's okay because i have a better chance next year.
