HEALED DURING COLLEGE CRUNCH TIME

BY JULIANA CHOANSA KO

It was my junior year in college, and there were only three days of classes left. I had almost finished one big 15-page paper and still had one more to go, along with studying for final exams. One morning I got up early, hours before anyone else in my dorm would be awake, and went down the hall to take a shower. I needed to get a head start on the day since it was "crunch time."

As I was in the hall bathroom, I began to lose my balance and consciousness, almost falling to the ground. I fought to stay conscious and quickly moved from the shower area back down the hall to my bedroom, where I quietly lay down on my bed and began to pray. I felt scared and startled because nothing like that had ever happened to me before.
