The next evening, I went in to take test and felt even more ready than I had been when I took oral one. For some reason, answers seem to come easier for me. When I left that room after exam, I came out with a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
As a person with learning disabilities, I had to have courage to continue on, determination to prove to others and myself that I could do anything I put my mind to, and confidence in myself as well. Without these things I never would have gotten a grade of 105 on test and passed course with a B+.
One thing I have learned over years is this: Do not give up on yourself, no matter what. You just need to keep telling yourself, "I can do this". The more you tell yourself this, more you will begin to believe it. And more you will do.
