I think your Dad was a little quick to judge. Give him the benefit of the doubt and keep going on your original plan. See how you do. It sounds like you're doing just GREAT

I don't think I'd back-track now. I'd keep on plugging away and STILL stay positive that you can do this. I don't see why you can't!! Best of luck & let us know how you do. God bless and congrats!!! Hugs, Lee
