Just barely graduating high school, plus 7 years later, I took on the astronomical challenge of taking one, single college course just to see if I could pass. I PASSED!! Doubled my effort. Doubled again. Finally got Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D. using the below encouraging words. ONE step at a time …. Lots of prayer … YOU CAN DO IT TOO !!
I never had any thought of going to college till I was out of high school 7 years. What worked for me was setting (and celebrating the achievement of) goals that I could visualize fulfilling – one step at a time: one course, then 2 courses, then 4 courses, then an associate degree, then a bachelor’s, master’s, Ph.D. Anywhere along the way I could stop and be thankful for having accomplished what I had set out to do: my do-able goal.
Just one step – at a time!
