What was the most difficult stage of your life and why? Could be a single even that was drawn out over several days or weeks, a series of events in a single day or a single occurrence that took everything out of you to overcome. For me: when I took the SAT for the first time. Spent the night with my ex-girlfriend and I had to sleep on the couch. Her dad owns a liquor store and came in at 12 o'clock. While I was pretending to be asleep, because my ex had just left the couch to go to her room, her dad sat down and enjoyed a nice dinner and a beer on the other sofa. (Beer makes ppl burp, beer makes Indian ppl burp loud af) after I finally made it to sleep, 2 or 3 hours go by and I hear a roaring in my ears. Her dad fell asleep on the other sofa and snores loud af too. I went to the basement after suffering for 30 or so mins. When it was time to wake up and go take the test, we stopped by chic fil a only to realize that my bank account had reached zero. Needless to say I didn't get to get breakfast. Having to take one of the biggest tests of your young scholarly life on and empty stomach and bank account is no easy feat. [spoiler]I had been out of school for a year and did very little studying. But, I scored high enough to get into my community college with ease.[/spoiler] [spoiler]god was with me.[/spoiler] So, post anything that has contributed to a tough time in your own life. And when you face more of them, you will know you can handle it. Thanks for your comments and time. God bless you, all of you, who have struggled or are currently struggling. There is a way out of it. No one will suffer forever.
