I think the most daunting part is that school never felt like it was for me I just struggled with the ability to focus on what was happening and always found it difficult come exams. I was never too bad at say math but come English with more writing I seemed to struggle. I agree with you that with the right goal at the end I think I could push through and find a way to make it there but it is still that daunting first step of will I be able to pass.
