98 in A&P 1?!

So, I’m a traditional student who has went through hell and back. I was recently diagnosed with 5 mental illnesses and 1 chronic illness, with a history of SH, a su*cide attempt and surviving 2 SAs in high school (as well as being a truant). I thought to myself that I would never make it, I would be weeded out instantly because I felt I was a long way behind my peer. Well, results are in that my midterm grade is a 98 and that I am one of the top students in my class. I might actually cry, I tried so hard. Now I can look up the staircase with a bit more hope than last semester.

ALWAYS believe in yourself and persevere!
