Grad school trials and endless strain,
Disability threads through each day,
I wait and wait to see what they want of me
Endless Strain

Shrouded Weight
What is the expectation of me?
Disability is a weight indeed.
Uncertain Fate
Staying afloat, with hope so thin,
Struggling each day, just to survive within.
Overwhelmed
Waves of doubt come crashing in.
Waiting on undefined academic expectations, I'm supposed to meet
Disability adds weight to my limbs,
And anxiety skyrockets within.
Resilience Mindset
If you fail, don't give up! Remember..
FAIL means First Attempt In Learning. Each failure is a step towards mastery. Keep trying.
END means Effort Never Dies. Persistence is key to success, so keep working hard.
If someone says NO, think of it as the Next Opportunity. Explore new avenues and ideas.
This way of thinking is called the Resilience Mindset.
We can transform obstacles into opportunities for growth and discovery, highlighting the importance of persistence and determination in forging ahead.
A resilience mindset helps you stay positive and keep going, even when things are tough. Change your mindset and see failure as a chance to learn and grow.
Disheartened
Can the sun's rays chase the gray?
Grad School challenges run deep.
Disability already a minefield
Moving forward
Resilience is the ability to keep moving forward, even when the path is difficult.
