A broken relationship can make you loose your concentration...and can lead to such thing you have described.

When you now have signed up for a new school, try to put your focus on the school matter and try to avoid any serious relationship.

It might sound harsh that you shall avoid "serious Relations", but such a thing takes a great deal of your time, energy and focus and since you are attending a serious study...you might fail again if you shall handle both thing at once.

It is always good to please ones parents, but don't build the thought that this is the reason you want to attend the school.
It must be your interest...it must be your goal.....you must do it because this is what YOU WANT!

If not you are doing both your Parents and yourself a big mistake.
To be in the medical profession is a hard thing....but many times build on pink dreams....if it isn't your really dream...well then you might waste your time and effort...and take the place of one that really wanted to attend the school.

Give it a thought... put your mind into it....put up goals for each part of the semester...try to compete with yourself and the goals....you need to learn focus...because when you are finish with school that will be an important ability in your profession.

Good luck

thank you both for the great advice.

But I am still worried, because this last time I worked really hard and it didn't pay off, I am fearful that it won't pay off this time.

From your answer I think you have the right goal in mind.

Your first priority must me to get rid of the Quoted Thought, turn it around and say " I know I am good enough to see it true, and I will! "

To have a negative thought, like that, in your mind might one time or another lead to an excuse for given up.
You shall do an education in a profession where you are not allowed to do so.
You have to build your self confidence, because that will be a major factor in your profession.
You must learn to trust your opinions, because when you are in a life/death situation you can't hesitate, you can't argue with yourself....you must only know that you always are doing what you believe is best and that will equal to the best

Always when you study and get to a big problem....read the problem, start to solve other smaller problem and let your "brain" work on the bigger problem for a while on its own....many times this lead to a "snap" or door opener for the big problem, which might not had occur if you only concentrated on it.

And it is ok to "live" when you study, it is not always the amount of time you put into the study that count, equal important is your state of mood, that you feel refresh, that you don't sit study, thinking on a party you should have attended...if so...then maybe the party had been a better place

So I am sure you will manage this with good margins, if you put your mind into it, if you put it up as Your goal and that you believe in yourself!

Good luck
