Why does there always have to be a drawback somewhere?

I'm not smart, maybe not even average. My parents and teachers helped me trick myself into thinking I'm a genius. Maybe I had potential back then, but I was never challenged and raised incorrectly so everyone else ended up surpassing me.

I've never seriously studied before and I don't feel like I've won an award that I deserved since I was 8 or 9. I've spent years being unemployed and have no skills or accomplishments to my name. I'm trying to apply for university because I'm so insecure about going from "clever" to brainlet. I really just want to prove to myself that I can put in the hours to become a better person and make something of myself.
