You know, I used to be a little skeptical about miracles. I mean, I knew they happened, but never happened to me. But, I've changed my mind. 

I woke up today praying for a miracle to happen. And it seems Someone up above heard my prayers and decided to answer them. Finally, I got into college!

I can't believe it! After two years of hard-working, classes, exercises, books, readings and, mainly, exams... I did it! I don't know how, but I did! 

I was so nervous and apprehensive 'cause I knew I haven't done well on my exams, especially on my "math-physics-chemistry" exam. I just hate these subjects and I have a hard time trying to learn them. But, it seems even these "obstacles" weren't enough to prevent my dream to come true. I must have passed by the skin of my teeth! 

Well, from now on I have other things to think about it. To start with: the college is far away from home. I'll only see my parents twice or three times a year. Besides, I have no friends there, so I'll have to start everything from scratch. 

Now I'm afraid and happy at the same time. Silly me, huh? Well, I'm sure this will be a huge experience and an opportunity to grow.

So, basically, the message is: keep the faith! God moves in mysterious ways, so don't bother yourself racking your brain about a problem or something you want to get but, for some reason, you can't. You're time will come. Believe it Wink

Anja, my friend, thank you so much for your support and encouraging words 'cause I do need them in this moment of my life :D I think going into college will be a watershed and probably I'll see myself as an adult for the very first time in my life! Maybe that sounds strange, coz I'm in my twenies already, but I still feel like I'm a "preteen" sometimes :P

Dear Carla

congratulations!

I know exactly what you are going through. Having to say goodbye to your well known and convenient environment is a major milestone in ones life. But just look ahead...open the new door and grow on it. You'll meet different people with different backgrounds, you'll learn about yourself and you'll find out how mature you are.

Enjoy the time and have a ball ;)
