Wondering Paths: College

       It has been seven years in running, that I have tried to go to college. Something has always prevented me of going. It is my deepest desire to go and get a degree in something. I long to achieve this for so many reasons. I pray that this will one day happen. I pray that it God's will for me and my family. I really do think it is because this desire burns so deep within me. I went to school for the first time in the summer of 2012. For many reasons, I had to stop going. I regret that decision so much. I will not let not easy circumstances let me quit.
 
     I struggle in school and I didn't receive a very good education in high school. Right now, I'm trying to find resources and ways to pass the Compass test. It is a entry level test to see if you need remedial courses. I hope with the changes that are being made in our economy will not prevent me from going to college. I can't afford college and I will need help financially.

    This is my dream. I want to hold on to my dream so that my child and hopefully children will learn that in spite of hardship and struggle anything is possible. That goals and dreams are important and you can't let people or programs make your life has you want it. I want to free my self of any government help.

     I want to get a two year degree in Sign Language Interpreting. I also would love to get a degree in writing and research. The second degree would be more of a hobby. I want to ultimately would love to teach children and toddlers how to communicate through Sign Language. I have let circumstances and people speak for me. I've given up without a fight. I ask for prayer, has I try go through this long process of going to college. It may take years for me to accomplish this goal.

      Please join me in prayer. I'm going to need prayer. Pray to help me retain what I learn. Prayer that going to college will happen. Prayer that financially going to college will come through. Prayer that God will continue to guide my future. I'm going to need lots of help emotionally, mentally and assistance in many various ways. Also, I need prayer in getting a ride to college. Drew and I only have one vehicle. So, this is going to difficult to work out.

Sincerely In Christ,

Vanessa
