I can see where he is coming from with the whole focusing on plan A thing and not think about plan b because that’s almost like admitting you’re not going to make it. But it’s tough…not having one would freak me out too! But good for him for really believing in himself!

I agree! I’ve had a Plan B the entire time – even if it’s something crappy like substitute teaching. Something about having that in the back of my brain has always made me more confident about chasing Plan A. But to each their own.
