Why is it a miracle? I will tell you...
Soo, on the day of my last final I was trying not to freak out because, although all of my other finals went as smooth as I could ever wish, I still had to conquer College Algebra. I had studied the entire week and weekend before and my brain was practically fried. As I walked into the classroom, I felt confident in myself. I sat down, the teacher gave me the test, and that is where everything started to go wrong. First of all, you should know that I am a sloooooow test taker. So when I realized that I was only halfway through the test after an hour and half, I kinda started to freak out. On top of that, my teacher called a thirty minute time limit (she said something about 2 hours was all one needed to take the test). That just made me panic even more and so I started rushing through all of the problems trying to work them out. Then, as everyone was finishing up their tests and turning them in, the teacher felt that it was necessary to talk to each one individually and have 2 and 3 minute conversations with them! If you don't know me, I am VERY ADD when it comes to stuff like that and I could not keep my attention focused on my work. So, when the teacher calls time I am just finishing up the second to last problem (and I couldn't even come up with the right answer). So I just marked a letter on the answer sheet, marked something for the last problem and promptly stood up and brought my test to the teachers desk. I walked out of the classroom feeling like I had completely failed.
Three days later when I checked my grades online, I was scared to even look at what I had made. Actually, I closed my eyes when I clicked on "view grades" and then it took me a minute to convince myself to look. Ahhhh I was SOO excited when I saw that I had made a C!!!!!! (I know that a C doesn't seem like a very high expectation, but for me it was HUGE! Math is my WORST subject!!!)
On top of that, all my other classes had A's!!! I was super duper excited!! God is so good to me to give me smarts enough to pass college algebra :)
And, I could have never done it without my mom and dads prayers, the support of Grace and Jacob, Mrs. Amy Blassingame (who so willingly tutored me!) and all my friends and family!! I am definitely blessed!
Now, I am so excited because I can enjoy my entire summer knowing that I, Faith Riley, passed College Algebra :) Oh yes.
Speaking of summer, I have sooooo many plans!! I'm going to start diving into my photography alot more. If you want pictures made, email me at friley@afa.net. Also, I hope to accomplish some other things that I have been wanting to do. I'll keep you posted on what I do with my summer and with the pictures that I take.
