I am really having a hard time right now. I recently received the grading outcomes for my 1st semester classes and have scored below the median GPA established by my school for all of my classes. I am nervous, anxious, and afraid. I don't want to disqualify myself from any career opportunities due to poor academic performance in my first semester. Most significantly, I don't want to be kicked out of law school for poor academic performance and am fearful that this could occur. I have fought, worked, prayed and sacrificed to be in this position as a law student. I know that God is able. The fact that I am currently enrolled and attending law school is evidence of this (as I did not score very high on the admissions test for law school). My fear is rooted around my anxiety. So much of my future depends on my status as a student. God has blessed me with an opportunity that allows me to attend law school, full-time, with no out of pocket costs (tuition and housing are fully paid for). This is quite literally what I prayed and believed God for. I am afraid that I have sabotaged myself and placed myself at risk of losing the very thing that God has blessed me with. I don't want that. I want to succeed. I want to prosper. I want to graduate law school, pass the bar and practice law, and allow these works to serve as a living testimony to the glory of God. Because without him, I am certain that none of these things would be possible. I am witness to his greatness.
Right now, I am feeling afraid and I want the strength to overcome my deepest fears (failing to achieve the minimum GPA needed to remain enrolled as a law school student, and thus failing to successfully obtain my law degree). I want to silence the anxiety and stress in my mind, so that I can get through all of my first-semester courses and achieve the best possible grading outcomes, in spite of my previous setbacks. I need to set aside self-sabotaging behaviors and practices like procrastination, low motivation, poor time management and over-confidence. I need to rely more on God so that I can tap into the strength and energy necessary to maintain the endurance to finish the things I started and to do them as well as I possibly can, even when my motivation is lacking. I want to conquer the very things that are limiting my ability to succeed in law school (the things I am aware of and the things I do not know are hindering my abilities). I believe God is able, but right now, my feelings (anxiety and fear) are taking a strong hold over my mind. Pray for me please.
