Well, it's not the end of the world to have an imperfect education. Lots of people deal with it. It is definitely going to be hard to move to less than ideal, but hey, isn't it the challenges in life that make us stronger? Believe in yourself and your ability to roll with it and you'll be fine and DS will be fine too.
Yes, but each imperfection adds to the loss of the potentiality at the highest end of achievement. Only by making each step perfect and keeping your balance on the tightrope for years on end can you arrive at the best possible future.
You may be "fine" but you will have fallen well short of your potential, and may ultimately become forever lost in the great sea of mediocrity.
Remember, each time you fail to achieve greatness, or even experience the slightest misfortune, many glorious possible outcomes are forever eliminated.
