After five years of studying with severe PTSD, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Tinnitus and hearing loss I had to find something to inspire me to continue through the sixth year. I cannot remember how many times i have wanted to quit but in the back of my mind was the promise I made to my dad on his deathbed. "I will complete my degree!"
The following poem by a British born American poet, Edgar, A. (1881 - 1959) is inspirational and I think of it whenever I am down and read through it to lift myself up, reminding me of my promise and of my goal.
It Couldn’t Be Done
I wish you all the very best success in your studies and trust that this poem inspires you to carry on, as it has me.
