Academic Challenges

This term is my fourth term at Kaplan University. Somehow I am still maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Many people around me find it hard to believe that I have "academic challenges". Of course, just like any other person I do. My main fault is being my worst critic. When many people will say "Oh that is good enough" or " That sounds fine". I will revise it, and revise it, and revise it again. A lot of times I put way more effort and time into things then I need to. I also tend to second guess my work and then change it over and over and over again. I have always been like this, through high school and now through college. It effects me more now because I have a 1 year old daughter. I could me spending more time with her, rather then re-writing and re-checking and re-doing everything I do. But I guess that is the price I pay for wanting all the scholarships, grants, and scholarary awards. It is a great reward when grades come out and the A is then worth everything I went through and all the time I put into it. But sometimes I wonder whether or not the time I spend, and all the opportunities I give up to do other things in order to study are worth it. I am my own academic challenge.
