touching stories (:

at church today after dinner a girl's mother shared about her schooling life. she's going to uni this year. well, i won't say names in case ppl fb stalk her... but it was reallllllly touching. i'll skip 8 yrs of her life into a paragraph.
basically she went to a private school but that year her dad lost his job so there wasnt enough money. well she came first in the grade and applied for scholarships but the school doesnt like giving scholarships to old students. she went to interviews for other Christian girls' schools and almost made since she was in the top 1percent for the scholarship test  except when she was asked a question at the interview about representing the school for sport which she didn't and so lost the scholarship. she didnt want to go to a comprehensive high school nor did her rents but when the slective test came her rents were like only if u get to ruse i'll consider letting your go there or else we'll try our best to keep u at the private school. well she made it to ruse and cried coz she had to leave her Christian school. when they told the private school they wanted to withdrawal the private school then said i don't care how late at night it would take for you to get here and sign the paper but i'm offering her the money and they wanted her (since she was the top student). well they already made up their mind to go ruse.

well apparently she started already stressing in yr9. in yr 11 apparently they give you an estimate of your atar and she already made it to her course with using the estimate but stilll put more pressure on herself. she had to take drugs/see doctors, councellers/had headaches couldnt sleep. apparently that's really commen in ruse....esp, yr 12. so when she had trials it was really bad but she always prayed and when it was the hsc she still slept a bit better than when she had her trials. and after hsc she slept normally. she went hk for a month and then received her atar. she achieved what she wanted which was state rankings/ law at syd uni.

well, it's really hard to make this story touching online but i found it was. God really is amazing and provides a good path for everyone even if your under stress/different school etcetc.

also, for those who go to ruse, i hope you don't stress too much since the greatest amount of people who take medication for hsc related stuff is there.....

sorry is this post doesnt make sense.
