“I feel like such a failure,” Talia continued. “In school there was a formula. It was pretty easy to figure out what to do and where you stood. You’d know you were living up to your potential. Sometimes I think I should just go back to graduate school for my PhD because it would sound better and I could get A’s again. I don’t know how to get an A in my twenties. I feel like I am failing for the first time.”
