Stresses of School

This week, school has picked up more than it ever has before. With two tests and a research paper due on Thursday, it seems impossible that I will be able to make it through this week. As the semester begins to approach an end, it is now that I must be extra focused on my school work. The two tests that I have this week are for American Heritage and Physical Science, both of which I know I will need to put an obsessive amount of time studying for. On top of that, my research paper is due Thursday and must be at least 8 pages long. Looking at what this week holds for me, I have already begun to get stressed. It is at times like these where I will really be tested. I know that if I am to make it through this week, I must also take the time to continue my scripture reading. Throughout this semester, I have gained the habit to slack on my diligence in this area because of all the late night studying I have to do. This week though, I have made the goal to not miss one night of studying my scriptures I go to bed. This is very important because I know that it is only through the help of my Heavenly Father that I will be able to successfully receive the grades that I want on the tests for my classes. The lesson that I've learned from the past is that no matter how stressful school gets, I must always make the time to study the scriptures and keep the spirit with me.

  1. I couldn't agree more! Reading and studying the scriptures is a source of strength to me also. I have found that prayer and scriptures study will carry me through the day, no matter what else happens. I think if we have our priorities straight then we will be guided by the Holy Ghost in our studies and learn more than just on our own.
