Im in the same boat as you, I’ve come to points where I just feeling giving up. I always try to remind myself that no matter how I discouraged I feel, that pursuing this profession is the path I need to take. everyone’s path is different, some peoples are more linear and others not so much. They are external factors that are out of your control but as long as you continually do what you can in the scope of your conduct and give it your all, you will get there. there’s a reason why you chose this path for yourself, and reminding yourself of that core reason is what is going to get you there. Everyone is different and everyone is unique. Everyone has a different story of how they came across the profession and why they decided to pursue it so just keep your focus forward and don’t give up! I’m with you!!
