So Close

Well I didn't reach my goal this semester. I ended up getting an A- in one of my classes. It's frustrating because I was only 1 point away from an A. I was convinced that this would finally be the semester that I got a 4.0. I had so much confidence in myself that I would do it, and I know that motivated me to try even harder. Although I did not reach my goal, I am still happy with what I ended up with. 
This semester I learned to stop being such a perfectionist. I realized that everything I do does not have to be perfect as long as I give my best effort. And my best effort is what I put forth this semester. I'm not giving up, and with four years of grad school ahead of me  I will continue to make it my goal to earn a 4.0 and I know that at some point I will reach that goal. But if I don't, I will be okay knowing that I tried my best and that I never gave up. 
For now I'm going to focus on achieving my next couple goals, like running a half marathon in 2 days and graduating in 4 days!
