Man, sometimes I am such a worrier!!! This week was midterms week at ENMU and my hotel management course was going to conclude the 8 week session this week. We had to do a timed final exam worth 110 points and a final huge project of designing a hotel that was worth 400 points. The total points possible to be earned was 1,000 for the 8 weeks. I had a 99.92% grade already but I was so worried since I was very nervous that the hotel design project was going to drop down my grade to a failing overall. So, I submitted the assignment twice on Tuesday and one more time with a few minor adjustments on Wednesday. I still wasn’t relieved so I sent an email to my professor requesting that he only view my 3rd submission and ignore my first two. I felt relieved when he replied back saying that wasn’t a problem. From Thursday-Sunday, I nearly checked my Canvas class account every single day!
Then on Sunday evening, I logged into Canvas one more time to check and I was really on edge when I saw the assignment was graded. I clicked on the grades and scrolled down where I saw that I was given a score of 375 out of 400 points. I screamed with joy and saw that my overall grade was 97%. I didn’t need to panic, I had already passed the course. I really need to learn to stop worrying about every little thing in my life and feel more confident. But it’s very tough when you are someone who has cerebral palsy and has to deal with verbal abuse, criticism, and rejection constantly. I am proud of myself for having gone through this far and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for me.
