"gotta get to the test!"

Mildred Laruan—<i>Benhuet, Philippines</i>

Last year I had to take the entrance examination for university. I left home at 10:00 a.m. and waited for some public transport to arrive. At 12:30 p.m. I was still waiting. I felt afraid and hopeless. It was a long way to the university. And I had to change to yet another public jeep. I began to think I'd be so late that I wouldn't be able to take the exam.

Then I decided it was time to apply what I knew about God to this situation. So I prayed. I stayed calm. I remembered that God provides for the needs of all His children. Shortly after this, the jeep came.

It was late when I arrived at the university, but I went to the area where the exams take place. When I asked the proctor if I could enter, I was told that I could enter the next batch. I was so happy. I took the test and passed! Now I'm making the most of the opportunity to study at this school.
