Hey friends! I am going through a lot right now and I need some prayer. Im not sure if I am in the right major. I did well on my other classes but Foundations of American Education killed me of course. It was too much to handle 5 classes and so that class probably won't transfer. I got a D in it. I tried, but I don't test well. And he just sat there and talked for 3 hours. I couldn't stand it. And then for my next math class I am taking Math for elementary education and I have the same teacher that I failed math the last time the whole reason I had to take 5 classes. I am going to see if I can get another teacher or something because if I fail again I will not be happy. All through high school I never failed any of my classes. I don't know whats wrong with me now. I try so hard and it doesn't seem to pay off. I even studied for the final but of course one of the days I had to miss we were going over the final. The reason I had to miss it is because of my Speech final (going to the Tel Hai nursing home). So I didn't get some of the stuff that was on our final. During the final I was getting distracted soooo easily. And I was like whatever I don't care anymore. This class was all but frustrating to me. I did my work and I showed up. I didn't do well on the tests. Well that shouldn't affect my grade. Most teachers put in the account of the student trying and showing up and participating. Whatever! I don't care anymore. I don't know what I am going to do now, but I can't do anything about that grade. And all my mom said is that I will just have to try harder in my classes. That will be hard because of working. If I am working I can't concentrate on homework and studying there.... Whatever. I just feel like such a failure and I don't feel like trying an more.

Jen!
You are not a failure! Please do not say things like that. If you are not doing well in some of those classes, than maybe it is time for a change. I will pray that our wonderful Lord will reveal His most wonderful plan to you.
Is that math teacher a foreigner? Maybe there are some helps to understand better??
Hey hun, I know I am not a failure, but that's how I felt when I saw that grade. I know God will come through and help me. Yes, the math teacher is from Russia. I could not understand her very well. And so I don't really want to have her(again). She didn't really help me and also there is help but I know last semester it was during the times I had class or I had to go to work or something. It doesn't matter I will figure something out. I might talk to the counselors and see if there is any other math teachers who teach this class. Well see ya tomorrow! btw. How was your plane ride and all? Love ya
Hey laura, thanks babe. I know I should just look ahead not backwards. I can't wait to see you tonight! I was actually going to call you the other day to see how you were doing but I didn't get the chance to do so. talk to you later! love ya lots!
OH Jen,
I echo Nikki and Laura full heartedly. It is just school and those grades will most likely never be looked at again once you graduate. You are so not a failure. You succeed in so many ways that I struggle...like your sweet heart and quiet spirit, and the way you love people so freely and give of yourself without ever asking for anything in return. It was so good to see you last night and I am so glad that you came despite your tiredness. I'm sorry I made you stay later because I didn't take the picture right away. It was a real pleasure to see you. I'd like to have a date with you though, sometime after the Christmas rush and when everything settles down because I miss those times when you just chilled at my place and we hung out. I really took that for granted. Anyway, I love you and school is just one of those things that everyone goes through and everyone stresses about. Don't worry about it. "Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." Luke 12:6-7
God gonna take care of you. Just let it all go and TRUST Him.

Becca,
You are so right! i love you so much(i love all you) I think I just get so wrapped up b/c I have never failed a subject before and now I didn't do well in two classes each semester in college. I know I shouldn't worry about it. It's not that big a deal. God will show me what I should be doing all in his time. Thank you for showing you care. I love you so much! God bless! Careful driving. See ya after Christmas!!!
