I am in my 50s and struggle with feeling like a failure too. On a positive note - I am more comfortable being myself. I can't control what people think of me and apologizing less. I am not real sure if I can manage a full-time fast paced job either. We are finding our way. My path isn't what I expected, but I am generally happy.

Woohoo, go Becky! Yes, I loved reading this. I made it to uni at 18 but I missed so much because I had to avoid so many things like um... Undergraduates, for instance. I became a lecturer in the end but mature students inspire me so much and they are JUST THE BEST to teach because they really appreciate the experience and are so engaged. Congrats on your first that is awesome X
