University

I was rejected from one of the universities that I applied to, now I'm doubting my self-worth and wondering if I would even be good enough to pursue my goals if it's even worth studying at all. I don't think i would be a good enough teacher

Don’t give up. I have almost finished my dual certification and masters program to teach. I have thoughts of shame and honestly terror that how can I teach when I can’t take care of myself? Honestly I can’t, which is why I need to get better and manage my illness. However I truly believe that having a mental illness gives me insight and empathy and will make me a better, more authentic teacher. Keep trying!

One thing i have to say is, it seems you are worried about the future. You shouldn't. When you start worrying about what's next you start to stress because you worry about if it will be better, harder, if I'm going to accomplish something, just endless things. So if you only worry about the present you are focused and not distracted and will accomplish much more and you'll feel better about yourself. think of it this way, say you are in an eating contest with a giant burger. you begin eating this burger and you are doing so great and you are proud of yourself then the further you get it gets harder then you start thinking about the future which would be what if i fail at eating this or i really want that t-shirt and my picture on the wall. because of you worrying about the future so much you lost track of the present which was eating the burger and you failed. instead if you only focused on each bite you took of the burger just in the present moment you would of beat the challenge and then had your pic on the wall and had a t-shirt. all im saying is focus on you in the present and take one step at a time and when you begin to break just calm down and talk to yourself and say i got this because you do. Good luck with everything!

Keep you chin up! I wasn’t accepted into every college I applied to, but in the end it all worked out. I now have my masters and a great job. If you truly have a passion for teaching then it’s their loss, not your’s. Now you have an opportunity to shine somewhere else. Rejection is hard, but one thing you can do with rejection is to turn it around to fuel yourself and say look I can do this. The world needs great teachers who care. Hoping for the best for you!

Rejection is a tough one! It can be so destructive in our heads after a rejection. But stay focused on this fact many ideas, books, songs, inventions were all rejected at one time or another. But if you keep pushing on and finding your fit what you need will happen. I know rejection hurts.....but look up and know God has a plan for you. -Rachel
