When Life Thows a Curveball
Finals week is understandable, a very stressful time, this previous semester was no different. While trying to juggle all the competing responsibilities I had inadvertently mixed up my exam schedule. I had tests scheduled for Friday and Saturday and I had inadvertently mixed up the dates of the test. I distinctly remember walking into the classroom and realized that I had studied for the wrong test.
After feeling flustered for the first 10 minutes and trying to get into the right headspace, I realized that I was not as focused as I could have been. I felt confident in the general concepts of the class and took a minute to remind myself of that. After some deep breaths and silent prayers, I tried to make the best out of a bad situation. As I progressed through the test, concepts kept coming up as I recalled learning various concepts in class. I was able to get a good score and was very grateful for the ability to compose myself during the test and get focused.
In our lives we will all have these moments where life throws us a curve ball and we will feel flustered and out of control. In these moments I believe that we can still come out feeling good feeling successful. We can learn that as take deep breaths and trust in our training and our Heavenly Father, all things can work out for our benefit.
