Pressure

I talked to a friend recently who started working immediately after she graduated. She explained to me the pressures she feels at work and the need to meet a certain standard just to feel a sense of adequacy. She explained she doesn't feel she can openly speak her mind and show her creativity at work because she's worried about what the experienced/older employees might say. She is without a doubt one of the hardest workers I know and often motivates me to want to do better in school.

Our talk made me realize all the pressure I'm feeling now with summer school moving so fast and GREs less than week away. Many people say the GRE for PT school isn't THAT big of a deal and the score you get isn't nearly as important as the score you get on the SATs. Just the thought of taking a huge standardized test that will be sent to schools is nerve wracking. I think the worst part is the GREs are done on computers now so you find out your score immediately after the test is completed. This will either be a huge burden lifted off my shoulders or another weight pushing me down. I find myself constantly seeking after God in this time because I know I can't pull this off myself. My prayer request is that God watches over me through this whole process and that I lift up my worries/struggles/blessings all to him because in all honesty I wouldn't even be given this opportunity to pursue my dreams if it wasn't for Him.

I know I talk about school a lot in these posts but in all honesty its whats taking up most of my time and what I think about constantly. I honestly appreciate everyone's prayers and thoughts as people continue to urge me to stay focused and continue to work hard.



"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. "
