FAILING my way into become a psychologist.
Don't give up, you will get there.
The universe has such a funny way of doing things.
But in a way that gets me really confused at times.
Like the time I flunked out of JC 1 and was asked to retake it again.
Or the the time I didn't know what I wanted to do at uni, so I chose a random degree course (commerce / business) instead.
Btw I failed that first semester of uni.
So I decided to change courses then (Biomedical sciences).
Just to end up failing that other course that I took the next semester.
Which led me to decide to change to yet another course again (psychology woohoo).
To tell you the truth, these all felt like very real setbacks.
I was truly lost and quite frankly depressed.
But it's such a funny thing that, over time, it turned out that these were all the best things to happen to me instead.

You see, as much as I think it would be a really nice narrative, I'd never dreamed that I would end up where I am.
Because wouldn't it be nice if I could tell you that this has always been my dream? To be a psychologist?
Since forever?
Becoming a psychologist and starting this mental health social enterprise to make an impact?
No, I failed my way here.
I failed my way into becoming a psychologist instead.
I even failed my way later in life in so many other aspects.
But somehow, life took me here. And this is where I am now.
Feeling deeply and thoroughly blessed.
To you out there, going through a setback at this time.
Don't give up on yourself okay?
I hope one day, like me, you will look back on this time.
And be able to say:
I'm glad things things turned out this way
😊
Thankful that we are growing and growing, and making such a wonderful impact.
Take care,
Hernping
