[Quiet Man Cometh]

I know how it can feel to be behind, Lawtan. Because of my health I didn't finish high school until I was 21, and I'm still embarrassed to admit that. I was rejected from the original program I wanted, twice (GPA was not a problem, but experience was), taking the year to work and doing so again after my second year. I took five years to get my degree, which is nothing unusual. I had two university roommates who were both in year 6. I switched schools as well, taking my first two years at a local college before transferring to a university that was twice the size of the town I left.

Feeling inadequate can be hard to shake, but you might find by talking to other people that your situation isn't as unique or as problematic as you might think.
