Dysfunctional families make us feel negative things about ourselves that are not true. My father repeatedly called me a ***** and a piece of crap, and if it had been for my family I would have gone nowhere. Their continual criticism made me ultimately so mad that I was determined to prove them wrong at any cost.

You do not need to believe any of the negative stuff that you carried from the past. You are much better than that and deserve to be successful. And with regards to migraines, plenty of people who have them hold very responsible and demanding positions in life. In fact there are many laws that prevent employers from using information like that in determining who gets into a program or gets hired.

The bottom line is -- go for the best. You are capable and deserving
