Have you ever felt misplaced in your past and desperately searching for solutions and answers that seem impossible to find?

Today marks the day I decided to drop out of one of my city’s most prestigious schools. I felt unstoppable and smart, and my future felt bright.

However, my spark quickly lit out when I started to fail all my classes.

I did not know why I was failing.

I used to be a top student.

I was used to getting A marks because I worked hard for them, but now I studied hard without getting academic validation in return.

I felt defeated.

It’s tempting to recall our bad moments.

However, we often hold onto it too tightly and not realizing the damage it can do to our sense of self-worth.

Then I remembered: change can not be done in the same place.

Meaning, I knew I had to change in some shape or form to get rid of my problem.

Therefore, I decided to switch schools, which turned out to be the best decision ever.

I was back on track again and realized that I wasn’t the problem…I was just in the wrong place, a place where I did not serve my purpose.
