Okay, so I have been going to school for 2 years now studying accounting. I am close to graduating. If all goes as planned I should graduate in May 2018. I have good grades and I am on the Dean' List.

I have struggled with depression off and on all my life. From 2010 to 2015 I worked at a doctor's office job that was a complete nightmare. From time to time I still shudder at some of the bullying I went through there.

I want so much to be successful in an accounting job. Right now I work a part-time job in a dry cleaners. It is an easy job and it's like working with family. I like this job but it does not pay a living wage. It is not a career.

I want to do well. I also have to be the breadwinner in my household. I am so afraid to fail again. I am 55 years old and I am too old to keep failing. I must succeed this time but I am so scared.
