And the ACT told me I was smart...

[luckiest_heart]

I study and study and study...read and read and read...but I can't seem to remember anything I have just read. My Communications book seems foreign and alien to me and I've read the chapters 3 times. I've highlighted and memorized and 10 minutes later, it's all gone.

This just further proves my theory...I'm not smart. I may be street smart or say

Hey Krista, I know what you are saying. Believe me, when I first started tech school for the air force, I was taking a class every day for 9 hrs a day, and it seemed everything I learned in that 9 hrs just seemed to vanish from my memory. No matter how hard I tried, it just did not seem to work. You said "So, where's the motivation in trying when I know I won't succeed?" The motivation comes when you know you are trying. When you try, is when you succeed, no matter how hard it is, or where it seems to be taking you. It sucks now, but when its all done, you will know that you tried and succeeded in what probably was the hardest thing you've done so far in life...and thats knowing you did your best and you accomplished it...like with my classes, I had classes for those 9 hrs for almost 6 months, but now I know that in 6 months I am 2 credits shy of my associates, I am overwhelmed with how well I tried, and how far I've came. And I'm still going. And thats how YOU should be too. You just need to know that when you "try" you will succeed and thats the Truth...and that krista is why I believe "Truth Is Where You Find It" (Dr. Maxwell Maltz "Psyco-Cybernetics")...but anyways I just worked 14 hrs, and I'm tired as HELL!!! And I never want to see another airplane again in my life! lol Take it easy, and don't let the "small shit" discourage you! There is no need to "feel hopeless"...holy shit your smart...TRUST ME!!! You've always make the right decisions...You've ALWAYS impressed me with the way you've been and how hard you try, and of how much you know, and care. (dont know if any ever tells ya that) Good Luck Kristaford :) Your the BEST!

P.S. BillyIggyMetacarpalsPhalangesClavicle Rex say's "hello" lol

Thanks Bradford! I really appreciate that so much. Sometimes I just need to hear a little encouragement I guess. Matt's really trying to help me with studying and reading different ways so I hope that will make me feel better about all this. I know I can accomplish things, it's just hard when I don't understand and get very discouraged, but I know you know how that is. Anyways, tell BillyIggyMetacarpalsPhalangesClavicle Rex that I say hello and that I hope his iguana ass is doing well. :) Thanks again.
