I ve worked too hard, and I ve only just begun. Tears were near. I just want to jack back into telelink, go to Court, get on with my life. Even though my parents have instilled me with the concept that education and hard work will take me to the top of anything that I want to do, they did not really prepare me for anything. I believe that self-confidence and self esteem are just as important as a college degree, and somewhere along the way, I lost mine.
College is a lot different than a job.
Just having a degree does not mean that I will become a partner of a successful law firm. It also takes personality and confidence, as well as education. After reading this quote, I sympathized with Carly. I wanted to run back to college as a safety blanket because I am afraid of falling on my face once I get out. In college, I still have time to fall on my face, act immaturely, and people understand that I am young, foolish, and will mature.
