Hello, I don't know how else to find any peace in this, so I figured I'd ask for prayers. I am wrapping up my final semesters at the university I attend and hopefully, assuming my grades are good enough, will graduate with my bachelors in history.

However, I have a major set back in the form of a final high level math class that I can't seem to pass. I've failed out of 2 separate high level math classes. It seems I simply lack the natural skill to accomplish it. Not to mention going to tutoring and studying constantly hasn't helped my grade in those classes.

Also, after or rather, if I complete my bachelors I will then be traveling to China for my graduate work and I'm seriously afraid of leaving my family and my religion behind in the U.S.

Finally, my family has fallen on a financial rough spot and my schooling has actually cost us dearly. I feel so ashamed that my education has done this to my family. I ask you, those who care and those who sympathize to please pray for me and my attempts at success. Hopefully this is the correct path God intended me to take.

Dear God you are our provider, healer, and lifter of our heads. Supplie for all his needs, grant wisdom, knowledge, understanding for learning and confidence. Make haste Sweet Jesus to supply for all of the needs and concerns.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your words of encouragement and your prayers.

As for my academic goals, I am striving for my PhD and I am trying to be a college history professor or a language professor. The only problem with getting the degree I need, I have to go to either China or Taiwan. Taiwan is religiously tolerant, China is technically an atheist state. That kinda worries me.

In TRINITY's Name I ask for Love's will.
