Why can't I let go of the past?

I am 37 years old. I go to a local college and I am 4 classes away from earning my associate's degree. I feel like a failure. Everyone around me is tired of hearing me complain so I thought I would get this off my chest on the boards Smiley Happy. I have always felt inferior to other people because I feel like I am the only one on the planet without a degree. After high school, I wanted to work and went to school part time, things happened, I got married and that's life. For some reason, I have a BIG problem letting go of the past. I have a lot to be thankful for, but for some reason, I dwell on this one thing in particular. Perhaps therapy is my only way to overcome this, but until then, thanks for reading this. :-)
