Trying to Succeed

When I started college, there was a little something in my heart telling me I wasn't ready...but I went anyways....and it's becomming more and more aparent to me that I needed to do something else first...

So let's get on to today: my English professor calls me into her office...my class is split into half online, half in class...and the online stuff is killing me..and my grade was suffering...

Anyways, she called me into her office and I completely broke down...it all became too real...like what if I fail this class? I don't want to be a failure! I WANT TO BE A NORMAL COLLEGE KID! 
...I broke down crying right there, in her office...like a total moron...but I couldn't stop...

MY PROFESSOR WAS AMAZING THOUGH...
She knew the accomodations I had just weren't working..so she spent over 20 minutes figuring out something that would work for both of us...

"Writing is NOT about how well you can type a paper, it's how you lay out your words and how it flows together. I don't care if you turn it in hand written, typed large, or you read the words and submit it audio." 

So she now has new accomodations for me:
  • Two extra hours on assignments that MUST be turned in online. (Everything used to be due by 10:00 AM, she has entended my time until 12:00 PM) it doesn't seem that big, but to me, it's HUGE!
  • She will accept my reading notes handwritten instead of being posted to canvas...one less assignment due on canvas.
  • She will now give me hard copies of reading material instead of it being online. This way, I can blow it up to read easier.
  • Unless otherwise stated by her, she will accept most online day assignments written.
She also gave me credit for the few assignments turned in late.

She was so helpful, amazing, and willing to do whatever it took to help me succeed. I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing professor...
