I'm Not A Failure!

I received my first acceptance letter to college today. (: I have to say that for the longest time, I was so convinced that I was going to be a failure for the rest of my life. All of my friends had received acceptance letters way before I had even heard back from any college I applied to. I was so worried that I was going to be stuck with nothing but rejection letters, simply because that's the way that I am sometimes. I always think that I'm going to fail or be rejected, simply to make myself feel better if I end up failing. I think it's a lot more depressing to be convinced that everything is going to work out in favor of the person but then it ends up as rejection.
