First, UC Davis is ranked among the top 50 universities in the U.S. CSUS, not even in the top 200. As that implies, having a degree from there makes my resume look a bit more shiny. *though now I'm aiming for the gold star, UCLA*. More importantly to me, it represents something I didn't think was possible for me. In high school, I didn't do so hot. I had all sorts of emotional issues and my grades weren't even close to up to par. So I knew I couldn't directly transfer from there. Then I went to a community college and thought I had a shot after my grades shot up. Yet, I got rejected and had to go to CSUS. That got me really upset and I had something to prove in all these classes lately. And as it turns out, my persistance paid off. Its sorta like, I am realizing that I can do it. I mean, its one thing to see some dumb cliche in a movie saying, You can do it. Its another to feel it in yourself.
That's the point of those quotes up there. I know those are true not just logically, but emotionally. Its a big leap to do that. I think that is the main job of a psychologist too. Most of you guys know many things logically. But its the feeling it part that eludes you, and myself at times. I think sometimes you have to go against what you feel is true and just do what you know is true logically. That's what I've been doing lately. I go against my fears by simply telling them that they are to be overwritten. Atleast I try, its not always successful, but that's my perspective I try to take with myself.
