Re: pull your socks up
Try to move on miss. Getting over things takes time. And time will heal wounds.
But dont give up on your dreams. Like you said, you want to prove everyone wrong. You needed a lot of courage to prove everyone in your environment wrong. Courage brings Wisdom, Wisdom brings Strength, Strength brings Courage... See how much you have achieved till now, and see what you have to do. The last steps to your dream.
DONT stop, but keep going, you have only a few months left INshaAllah. What you will feel when you get that special paper, it will make everything ok.
you took the courage to prove em wrong, you achieved wisdom and strenght. Try to believe in yourself. Look at all the people at gs, even they believe in you.
Sadzz n DHTN, life isnt easy for everyone :) So read before making any comments.
