Topic: IMPOSSIBLE (09/05/19)
Miracles Can Happen.

Have you ever heard of a woman who was told by a doctor that she could never have children? Well God has a better answer than a doctor does. In some cases women were able to conceive even if they were told that they were less likely to have children. I heard of someone who had meningitis, and the doctors probably did not think that she could survive it, and she did.
As for me, a neighbor of mine said because of my learning problems in school that I would not be able to handle college, but I part-time in the evening. I received my “General Arts and Science,” certificate. I have not had any contact with this neighbor ever since. At the present time I feel free to make my own decisions as to choose what I am able to do whether it would be school or job related. I know that I am able to write fiction or non-fiction. I believe people achieve skills if they put their minds to it, and practice and practice like I did.
As for myself I wrote stories when I was in public school, I was in special education up until I started going to high school. During my spare time, I drew pictures, and I made up stories about my classmates and myself going on field trips, and I recorded it on a cassette player. The teacher read my story to the class. Some of the students found it funny.
Miracles can happen. With God nothing is impossible, and a lot of people do not believe it, but it is true. There is a scripture in the bible where it says, “ Ask, knock, and the door shall be opened on to you.”

Good for you for managing college courses. It isn't easy, but you did it. It's great that you can write both fiction and non-fiction. Keep writing.

Good for you- you keep on keeping on! T(his would have been a bit easier to read if you had double spaced between paragraphs.) I know a young women who has autism, and she recently graduated from a JC, and now working on her second degree. Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do it!

First of all - congratulations for your accomplishments! This story is so real and heart-warming. A few tweaks would make it stellar! First, I would suggest you begin with what the neighbor told you. That makes a great "hook". Use dialog. SHOW the reader what she said, how she said it (was she intentionally cruel or simply thoughtless?) and your internal reaction to it. It seems that's what developed your resolve to achieve - to "prove her wrong" so to speak. Then, I would move your opening paragraph down to where you write that all things are possible with God. Great piece! Keep writing!

I am glad to see that you did not let what your neighbor said discourage you. It made you have the courage to go to school and get your certificate, congratulation. Keep up your creative gifts.It is always good to bring laughter. Keep studying more about the craft of writing.

I am glad you did not get discouraged. I think you are an example of “doing all things through God’s strength.”

This is wonderful! I applaud you for not listening to negative reports about yourself. I wish I had done that earlier in life. Your story is an inspiration to others in the same situation. Double spacing would make it read easier. Well done!
