Transfer app anxiety
Ok. . .so I've seen people just kind of come on here and vent before, that's what I'm doing now.
I NEVER thought I'd be filling out a college application again. And the thought makes me sick to my stomach. Why? Because I NEED to go to this school. I need somewhere close to home but I also need somewhere prestigious enough to get into a good grad school.
And I have these essays. I write well. I do. I got into one of the top ten colleges in the country. But it scares me. I don't want to sounds cliche, and alot is riding on making a good essay. So it's even more stressful.
Now, granted, I do have an awesome story to tell about being a single mom and going to school and being awesome. But I'm scared to write it.
Somehow I think typing this up on here will help. I'm going to let everything ferment a little bit, but I will have something started tonite.

It is already good- a powerful story is all you need, and you have that- you only need to write it down. Once I taught kids who had trouble writing, so we pretended I was Oprah and I interviewed them, then have them write down the interview, like a transcript.It really helped and my reward was one boy who never ever wrote before did it.
I think you just wrote a very condensed version here:
"Now, granted, I do have an awesome story to tell about being a single mom and going to school and being awesome. But I'm scared to write it. " Was that your first sentence? You have my interest aleady.!! I wish I could read it. I love reading non-fiction powerful stories.
As far as whatever else is riding on this essay is up to your HP, who wants to help, so whatever happens is good.It's all good. You do your job and let your HP do his.

Show up (done) Thanks for sarter Moving- tells me I am not hopeless because coming here shows I am not helpless, gratitude and acceptance are two other things that work for me.
From the Language of Letting Go by M. Beattie:
Gratitude and acceptance are two magic tricks available to us in recovery. No matter who we are, where we are, or what we have, gratitude and acceptance work.
If we become stuck, miserable, feeling trapped and hopeless, try gratitude and acceptance. If we have tried unsuccessfully to alter our present circumstances and have begun to feel like we're beating our head against a brick wall, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we feel like all is dark and the night will never end, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we feel scared and uncertain, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we've tried everything else and nothing seems to work, try gratitude and acceptance.
If we've been fighting something, try gratitude and acceptance.
When all else fails, go back to the basics.
Gratitude and acceptance work.
Today, God, help me let go of my resistance. Help me know the pain of a circumstance will stop hurting so much if I accept it. I will practice the basics of gratitude and acceptance in my life, and for all my present circumstances.
