Okay. So I had three tests right in a row this week. Man, that was tough! I always hated in high school when you would have several tests the same day or like five over two days because teachers thought we should be able to handle it; you know, it was preparing us for college where teachers don't schedule their tests around other teacher's tests. But anyway, I think I did well. I tend to stress out about anything and everything more than I should, especially grades. In high school, I maintained a 4.0 and graduated 7 in my class of 305 (This is not to brag, I promise. Sorry if it comes across that way.). I stressed about my grades and sometimes even made myself sick because I would get so uptight about my grades. As most of you probably know because we have several classes together because it seems that everyone in the freshman class has the same major, and that is pre-med. I am a Chemistry Pre-Med major. This road can get a little tough. Okay, it will be extremely difficult. This week, I was talking to a friend, who is a nursing major and is in her last year of nursing school. She was talking about how tough it was and how she did not do as well on some of her tests as she would have liked. She reminded me that she will still be a nurse just like the person who will graduate first in her class. It doesn't matter what grades (to an extent) that I make. I will still be a doctor and the person who has the highest average and ranked first will still be one. That really stuck with me. So, what if I make a B. It will not be the end of the world.
There were several things in high school that I had set to attain my senior year. Things like being an escort for Homecoming Court, being a beau in the Beauty and Beau Pageant, winning the AP Chemistry Subject Area Award, being star student, being Hall of Fame are a few. I didn't get any of these. God has a plan for my life and I do not know what that is. He will provide for our needs. He blessed me with a gifted talent of speaking and I was able to use that to win 2nd place at the State Speaker's Tournament and win scholarship money at Mississippi College. He also blessed me with determination and after taking the ACT over twelve times I finally received a score high enough to get MESG, scholarship money that was greatly accepted. God has amazing things in store for my life. I do not know what they are. He had some reason for not allowing me to obtain any of my goals my senior year, but I know he has got some incredible opportunities for me at Mississippi College and I can not wait for what he has planned for life here in the next four years.
Overall, this week has been great. I did really well on my tests that I had. ( or at least I think I did. :) ) We had an ISEC Game Night in the cafeteria that was a lot of fun. Then, on Thursday, we had a general rush meeting. I am really excited about rushing. It will be alot of fun. On Friday and Saturday, I attended the rush skits and they were hilarious. I had so much fun. After the skits I attended two after parties. I got to get my groove on! It was the best. I love to dance.

hey man, I'm glad that you are realizing how great our God is and that He has an awesome plan for your life. I will also be praying that you will find His will for your life, and that He will bless you in all you do. keep it up man.
I know what you mean about being great in Highschool and not so much here. Well you are here for YOu and God. No one else. They don't know your grades like highschool. You won't know half your class here. Just keep pushing
I can relate as well,not in terms of grades because i hardly ever studied in high school but was able to do pretty well. When im in question i just have to think about God's will too.
