This has been so hard for me to take in. I asked my tutor for support and apparently this won't make a huge impact on my overall mark but this has still upset me , as I have a fear of failure and this mark will have an impact me on getting an overall higher mark on this module which will definitely have an impact on my overall grade as I really wanted to get a 2:1 and now will most likely achieve a 2:2 .However,I wanted a 2:1 so that I can do apply to do a PHD in Clinical Psychology.
This dream may end up out the window, I'm not dealing with this very well at the moment because I know for a fact that I can help people with mental health and that I would be the right candidate for this field since I have alot of life experiences. Also it's crazy with the amount of debt I will be getting myself into and amount of time and effort I've put in and it still doesn't guarentee to getting an opportunity in putting my foot in the door in the mental health department.
This module finishes in May and then I only have one more module to complete. If I do end up with a 2:2 what other tranining and qualifications I can get to help me to get down the clinical psychology route?
I feel frustrated and upset and the tutor didn't seem to care about my prospects and was not very helpful.
What is also frustrating is people who have no qualifications what so ever get into the field because they know someone which shows that sometimes it's not what you know, it's who you know.
Also throughout my life I have been fighting for an education and have had no support what so ever, I have been chucked in the deep end. I have had no support from my parents as they are both alcoholics so had to get a job first to get money to stand on my own two feet and then go to university but obviously part time as I need my full time job in order to survive.
I'm so disheartened at the moment and was wondering if anyone has any tips on dealing with failure?
