You are not a loser.

You encountered a setback - this is not a catastrophe.

I went back to school in 2012 to retrain as a forensic accountant, hoping that it would make me more marketable. I struggle with addiction and MI issues.

I aced first semester, but crashed and spiraled into a bad depression in Jan. 2013, had to be hospitalized and withdrew.

Spring 2014 same thing happened minus the hospitalization, but I couldn't continue. I had to withdraw again.

Winter 2015 I was determined to finish come hell or high water. I even got a scholarship from my psych hospital. It was all I could do to make it to class on a semi regular basis. I missed probably a third of the classes, fortunately attendance was not part of the marks. I completed the course in April 2015 with a 3.5 GPA and am now looking for work, and writing my licencing exams to be a certified fraud examiner.

If you want it badly enough, you will find a way to make it happen.
