It took a few tries and frustrated me to no end at first, especially due to what everyone else seemed to think of the course (so easy, took me 5 minutes and got a 90%,etc.). Still passed with the minimum score but guess what? It counts! Perseverance is key, and the amount you had with this course is admirable! It is easy to just sit down, take an exam, pass with flying colors, rinse wash repeat. It is another thing entirely to go through what you did to pass, so I am REALLY proud of you!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I didn't hear that a lot growing up, so you have no idea how much that means to me.
This thread has taught me how important it is for us to share our academic struggles and not be concerned about receiving judgment for it. I had a hard time finding anyone in this community who related to me on this course/exam, but this thread really seemed to encourage everyone to be more open about their own difficult experiences. There are other people out there that will find comfort knowing they aren't alone and they certainly aren't any less educated just because they had a less than popular experience. I'm really happy with all of us.
