I achieved a 4.0 in community college, and a 3.8 at university. Honor society, President's list...all of that.

I excelled in my field.

And I've had a permanent case of "imposter syndrome" my entire life.

You have done well. You learned something difficult and noble. Don't listen to your own mind. You have done...and are doing...excellent.
