I need a mentor or someone who can guide me to the right path. Sure I have friends, but majority of the time when I talk to them about what to do, they also don’t really know. I have my parents, but similar to my friends, they don’t really understand my situation and just give me general advice. I honestly don’t know how to deal with all the things I must do. I feel so demoralized because regardless of the amount of work I put, it feels as if I’ll still fail. I did my best these past few weeks, but got sick to the point that I think I won’t have a favorable grade this term. Not because of my sickness but because there’s so much tasks that just by being sick alone, can hinder my progress by a lot. Hence, it is why it is so demoralizing. The number of tasks I have are so overwhelming and I feel like I won’t be able to accomplish all of them within their deadlines. It feels like a lot of the things are way beyond my control and capability. I feel incompetent and inadequate, especially when compared to my successful classmates who have their own time for their hobbies and interests. I’m scared of failing and taking accountability. I don’t want to disappoint those who worked hard and have supported me all this time, allowing me to get this far. I don’t want to waste this opportunity and privilege I was given with. But, at the same time, I feel like I can’t really succeed despite how hard I try. I’m inherently less talented, less motivated, and less efficient than the successful students in my class. That is why, I feel like I need a mentor who I can talk to and can help me sort out all this confusion and guide me to succeeding in the difficult trials of life. I love my course and the subjects I’m studying, but sadly my gut tells me I’m not cut-out for the job. I’m just a significantly disappointing and untalented human being, who has opportunity and privilege but not the innate physical capabilities. I wish I knew someone that can make me feel otherwise.
