Hello All,
Its been awhile I know and being busy is no excuse for not posting. As to why it took me so long to post this is beyond me but I'm back now and I have a testimony. (This may be a long one so brace yourselves) :)
I have been going through the most frustrating application process to a school for the past year or so. It hasn't been frustrating because of the school, but because I was leaning on my own understanding and what I could do. I wasn't leaning on God for anything. I submitted all my documents and hoped for the best.
I applied as a transfer student to Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma. It was the logical thing to do. I already have an undergraduate degree and I was applying to do another one so it made sense right? It should be easy right?
At the time, the college I attained my undergrad degree from was in the process of securing National Accreditation. This is the highest form of accreditation one can receive. So, because at the time of my application my Alma Mater had not yet attained this, I was told that I would have to apply as a freshman. That was not a cool moment for me at all. I was not pleased. So there the fussing began.
This type of application, required a lot more. The cost of this process was also something to take into consideration. Added to that, I would be required to do the SAT exam. I had done the exam years ago and had no desire to do it again. NO DESIRE. I didn't like the process, or the exam and I didn't remember doing very well.
Anyway, I fussed about it but I knew I had to do it. So I contacted an SAT tutor and began making plans to do classes. All this time, still leaning on my understanding of the situation.
Classes were to be on Saturday mornings at 9am, which for me meant laving where I lived by at least 6:30am. For someone who works during the week and only has Saturday to sleep in, it was a struggle. I wasn't able to commit to those classes and just decided that since I did the exam before, I would just buy a book and study on my own. Excellent idea! It will just be like a refresher right? So I was on my way! I was determined to do this exam and pass with flying colours.
I'm gonna split this thing up :) stay tuned for part 2
