not good...

My mother passed away five years ago, and there are still lingering effects from her death on our family.

Other things in my life are suffering as a result of my single-minded dedication to MBA essays. My father is retired, income-less, widowed, and disappointed. My older brother is suffering from severe depression, officially diagnosed as a serious patient who "really shut out his emotional outlet" by a doctor. My relatives are accusing me of being selfish and cruel, often taking a jab at my character and my integrity.

Man, I wish I could talk to my friends about these issues.

Unfortunately, I can't. My good buddy just broke up with his girl (10-year relationship!). My other good buddy can't go back to the States anymore for making a mistake in VISA application. I am sure they have their own share of agonizing issues.

Whew....I am just venting here. Just venting.

If you ever need to talk, please drop me a line! We all go through rough times and going through them while applying to school sucks twices as bad! Drop me a note anytime!

Likewise, feel free to drop me a line. This application process is extremely stressful. And all this introspection that you are probably doing for your essays is probably bringing back all the memories and heartaches. This is when you start to second guess decisions and situations. The "what if's" are what always get to me. :(

Words are never enough, but sometimes they are all we have.

I am from Beijing, China, also stepping on the road towards my goal, a top b-school in US. I am nearly 30 years old and sometimes I feel my confidence all gone in my suffering application process...Let's encourage each other. lrdtt@yahoo.com
