Hi everyone! I'm a 26 years old adult going back to school to become a computer engineer. I want to get a master's degree but I'm so far from my goal. I quit school so many years ago, I can't even remember algebra and don't have the level of mathematics needed for the program I aim. I took a test to find out what my level was nowadays and in elementary school mathematics, I got 46%... I'm thinking of giving up because frankly, it seems hopeless, isn't it? Not at all. So many people give up on going back to school because their situation looks like climbing on top of mount Everest, it seems impossible but it really is NOT!

I started taking distance courses 3 weeks ago and guess what, I got 100% in the elementary school test! It was so easy, all it took was dedication, comitting to 1 hour of maths every day and the efforts paid off! I still have about 5 years of maths to re-learn but I can do it, it's just a matter of self-confidence and organisation. The first book was supposed to take 36 hours to finish and it took me 10, it was easy! It will take me maybe 1-2 years to get the level of mathematics I need, 6 to get my master's degree but I'm confident I will make it. To me, it's not a matter of if but rather, when.

That's why there is a ray of hope for all adult students alike! Don't let anyone discourage you from going back to school because of any reason. I had ALL the reasons of the world against me and yet, I'm succeeding with multiple 100%. You have dreams? Do all it takes to accomplish them, nothing is impossible, mind over matter! If you're constant, always giving your 100% and give yourself the environment to succeed, you will get results, it's undeniable.

Good success to all students alike, success is not an abstract matter from outer space, it's inside of you.
