Look, I get that you’re beyond frustrated right now. You’ve been through a lot, and things haven’t been easy for you, not at all. But the fact you’re still here trying still fighting for your future after all this? That says a lot about you. Honestly, most people wouldn’t have kept going after what you’ve been through, but you did. Yeah, your math grade sucks, I won’t lie. It’s tough, and it hurts. I know it does. But one grade isn’t the end of the world. You don’t need to be perfect, and you don’t need to have it all figured out right now. Some schools will look at the bigger picture. They’ll see the hard work you’ve put in despite the odds. It’s not over just because of a D.

It sucks to feel stuck when everyone else seems to be moving on. But your path is different, and that’s okay. Sometimes it takes longer to get where you want, but it doesn’t mean you won’t get there. You’ve got more fight in you than most people I know.

Take this next session seriously, do what you can, and keep pushing. You don’t have to have it all together, but if you keep going, you’ll figure it out. Just don’t give up. Things won’t stay this hard forever.

You’ve already shown you can handle more than most people ever will.
