I find myself asking the same questions every semes­ ter: Why did I sign up for the classes that I did? Why do I have to pay so much money for the classes that I decided to sign up for? And the biggest question I ask is, Will I make it through another semester? Beginning is always the toughest part, isn't it? No mat­ ter how hard I try I can never get the butterflies out of my stomach. I always wonder if I'll be able to keep my grade point average the same. I won­ der if in trying, I might fail. I guess what I'm afraid of most is failing. If there's one thing that never seems to leave my mind, it's failure. When I think of all my failures in my life I worry. I worry because I know that even when I think I've got things in hand I might fail. It's happen to me before, and I can't help but wonder if it'll happen to me again. What does it mean to be a failure in school? Sometimes . Iwonder.
