Thinking about graduate school terrifies me, not because I don’t think I am capable, but because I don’t know if I’ll even get the chance to try. People keep telling me how difficult it is to get accepted and that everyone who applies is offering the same things I have to offer and I should be realistic and even if I did get in it’s a huge sacrifice and blah blah blah. Yes, I understand the magnitude of the sacrifice I will have to make to pursue this, but I am prepared for that because this is the only thing in my life that I have ever been sure about. What I am not prepared for, and will probably never be prepared for, is not getting the chance to even try. If I cannot get into grad school, how could I live my life knowing that I failed at the only thing I was ever here to do?
