Topic: EXPECTATION (01/28/21)
When I was in high school, I always hoped that I oiled pass every exam. I passed most of my exams except for biology and math. I was angry at myself and God. I felt a bit suicidal. I struggled in school with a learning problem. I was mad myself because my brothers never had any learning problems at all. Nobody else in my family that I knew of had any learning disabilities.

I spoke with my guidance Counsellor at school, and I dropped the math course, and she switched me to Family Study course which I did well in. I struggled with the English course, but at least I passed. Even though I graduated from high school, I felt like I lacked something in my life. I wanted to go to college, but a friend of mine discouraged from going because she felt that might not be able to handle it.
I took a year fro from school, and I worked as a housekeeper, and kitchen Helper through a vocational program. The following year I took a course in typing at the college, and my score was 35 words per minute. I hoped it would be higher, but I thought that was okay. A few years later I took a course in Creative Writing. I had to get help with grammatical skills at the writing centre, but they thought my stories were very good. I am presently working on a novel, and a children's story book. I scored a C after I completed the course. I also took a course in drawing at the college. I scored a B in that course. A few years later a took another course in Creative with the same instructor. She said that my writing skills were improving, but that it needed more work. I scored a B in that course. I was happy with that mark.

At the present time, I am hoping to keep improving with my writing and my drawing skills with Gods help. I am also hoping that the judge will let me off with a reduced rate with a traffic fine. Back in August I had an accident. I went thripough a red light. I have a Law student working on my case. I pray that God would help me. I have another court summons coming up in late March.

Praying for your absolute successes in life. You know WHEN we have any deficiency, that is NOTHING but an opportunity for God to be the FILLER UP of that need.
You GO for it.

My heart aches as I read this. My son struggled in high school. I did everything I could to try to get him help. It wasn't until he was in his twenties when he was diagnosed with learning disabilities. Even though he struggled, he made it through high school, went to a good college, and even though it was a struggle and harder work than even I know, he received his Master's of Divinity from Duke. It still blows my mind and I know he made it through one of the most difficult seminary programs in the US because God pushed him, stayed beside him, and has great plans. Don't ever get discouraged. You touch more people than you will ever imagine. With God's help, you are making a huge difference. Hugs.

Wow, this story has SO much potential. What it lacks is emotion. Show the reader an actual scene of you "sweating" through a test and the depth of the disappointment that followed. Show the reader your struggles as you watched your brothers breeze through school. Show the emotion of confusion, despair. Give the reader the scene of the suicide thoughts. In fact, that would be the BEST hook and keep the reader into the story. SHOW the hope you have found in God and his total acceptance.
I would delete the part of the accident, ticket, etc. It's an aside from the actual body of the story, which is not only the struggle to learn, but more importantly, your RESOLVE to OVERCOME! Blessings and keep writing!
