Things just worked out for Gloria. She was a bright student. She got along with her parents. She excelled at school and earned a college degree with flying colors.

She had defeated all the worrying demons of anxiety and bad grades and come through victorious. Now what? The real world felt like a desert -- a desert she was suddenly adrift in.
