I don't know if I could have scripted it any better. A cinderella story, with a twist. I started off this quarter on horrible footing, never got anything together and slacked off. I turned my head from the signs I was getting, people pushing me forward and then suddenly I was at the edge of a cliff. I had reached a point of no looking back and instead of leaping to the other side, I tumbled down. The twist? The story doesn't end with a crowning acheivement of victory at the end.. it simply says, " Welcome to reality "
It sucks for me that even with my back against the wall, that I curled into a ball and gave up. Instead of standing up to adversity and fighting a battle where the odds were up against me, I crumbled and failed. I got my MAE final grade back today, in an e-mail. Perfect timing, with it being the celebration of my day of birth and all. I keyed in my ID code and searched and the screen scrolled down to my name along with line of numbers. I glanced over and saw it. No way. There is no way I'm getting anything higher than an F in this class.
I don't know what to do. Where to go. Who to run to. All I have is myself. I am determined to turn things around, to change everything... if they'll give me a chance.

what happened phi?? are you okay??
