A message of hope for fellow students who are struggling ✨

Hey everyone! 🤗
I wanted to take a moment to share my journey in case it resonates with anyone who might be feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.
Two and a half years ago, I embarked on a new adventure by starting university. I was genuinely passionate about what I was studying, but the reality of my first year hit me hard. It was incredibly challenging, and little did I know, my second year would be even tougher. I found myself feeling desperate at times, fantasizing about quitting almost every single day, battling through exams that felt nearly impossible to pass, which made me question my intelligence and ability to ever finish my degree.
However, something remarkable happened in my third year. Everything started to shift. I started loving university, understanding what those challenges were supposed to teach me, and truly enjoying my studies, transforming my experience from one of frustration to one of fulfillment. I realized that persistence pays off, and all my hard work truly started to blossom.
I'm sharing this because I want to encourage anyone who is struggling right now. I want you to know that it's ok to face challenges and failure sometimes. Your journey might be tough now, but brighter days can be ahead. Keep pushing forward toward your dreams, embrace the struggles, and believe in yourself. You are capable of achieving incredible things.
Hang in there! Your hard work will pay off in ways you might not see quite yet. ⭐

Such a powerful, motivational message! 💛 Soooo happy for you!
What enabled the shift for you though, something that you did differently? Or any tips to stay persistent even when things are challenging?
Thank you, @Sunisshiningandsoareyou 😊
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. However, I believe that what must have helped is the fact that over these past few years, I've been working a lot on myself, so I've been growing and learning a lot about several different aspects of life.
About persistence, I consciously chose not to see quitting as an option.

@GlowingShoe9326 I love that mindset, about not giving yourself the option to choose to quit, when we do that there's no other option than to continue trying our best hehe and yes it aids to a whole lot of learning and growth, way to go youu! 🌻
