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.

So true- all of this! Those of us on this site are working hard and accomplishing so much, just in different ways. I think there are a lot more "non- traditional learners" on this site. Not just in the sense of using sources other than brick and mortar college courses, but also that many of us thrive in other learning formats for various reasons, and are more inclined to thinking outside the box. I am glad this thread was helpful for you and that you found what you needed support wise:-) This site is a great place to find that, even though I am still struggling to get out of my typical lurker mode. I'm sorry you did not have that experience growing up, but you come across extremely mature and intuitive based on your posts/replies. Thank you for your honesty, and your last post which was very positive!
