A friend presented me with a challenge this week. When I admitted that I struggled at my first attempt at the challenge his response to me was, “It is not rocket science and you’re smart.” He was correct, the challenge is not beyond my means, I just needed someone to remind me that I am a smart woman. How did this new friend know that I was smart? He has not known me long, we have not worked together professionally, I can only assume he believed it to be true because that is what I portrayed to him, and after all, I am a Granite State College graduate!
I struggled during my first online classes for college, I struggled during my first night college classes, who am I kidding, I struggled during most of my adult college courses! I never gave up though. My professors and classmates constantly encouraged me and reminded me that I was a “smart” woman. Today, with my adult college degree in hand, I only need to be reminded once to believe it to be true. I am a smart woman capable of almost anything. I will succeed in my current challenge and know it us due in part to the experiences I have received through my adult college program.
