First off, I just started my first semester of college. To give a brief introduction, I used to be a very academically strong student in high school, graduating 3rd. of my graduating class. During the end of my junior year of high school, going through my senior year, and now in college. I have realized that my focus in school and concentration was gradually declining more and more as time progressed. My academic performance was deteriorating; to say the least I feel as though my entire brain has been deteriorating and do not know what is going on. My entire life I dreamed of going to college and then to either medical or dental school. Now, after entering college, no matter how many hours I spend studying it seems as though the information I am reading is not sinking in and I get really frustrated. During the test, I get so tense and nervous that I when I look at the question I cannot come up with the answer and blank you or have a hard time thinking about the answer. Once the exam is over and all the papers are collected, I then realize that I indeed did know the answers to the questions that I missed. As the days progress I am getting more stressed as the days progress. At times I think too much about the future and wonder what I will do with my life with such poor college performance and academic difficulty this early on in my college career. I recently began to have doubts about my dream of becoming a doctor and through of alternate lower paying careers that take the least time to attain such as a police officer and an EMT. I also thought about nursing or dental hygiene, the list goes on...I sometimes am so discouraged that I have thoughts about dropping college all together. Also, my negative attitude is effecting other aspects of my academic performance such as not caring as much in class, thinking that I will do poorly anyway again, why even bother caring anyway. I feel as though I am metamorphosing into a new being, one that is self destructive, one that is a complete opposite of what I had been in high school. What is happening with me? (I met with my doctor, nd still waiting for the test results back.)

Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
