They most likey say that because they dont want you to go.I love it when they tell me ill fail,pisses the hell out of me,but in the end it motivates me like nothing eles.Take it all in,dont say a word.When u pass,send them a red beret in the mail.Thats what im gonna do anyways.

I get the "what if you fail" rather than the "you will fail" speach. Overall it doesn't bother except when I start asking myself "what if I fail?"

What the hell do you mean what if you fail? If you think like that your gonna fail! If your not ready,take a day,a week a month longer to be ready to pass.
Im coming from the otherside of the planet...I cant afford to think like that,you may be down the street,but neither can you.You can do it.

All I ever hear from friends and family is shock and supprise, all I want to do is prove to them that it IS for me. I don't even think my folks would attend my pass out parade...maybe by the time I get to it they will be more understanding and supportive...only time will tell.

Calm down, just saying that's what I get more than the "you will fail speech". I don't really think like that. Take some deep breaths mate.
