Resistance in My Life

The greatest resistance I have had to deal with is either the amount of reading for my classes and finding time to do it, or just scraping up enough money to get through daily life living on my own. I have a lot of reading this semester from either text books or articles that are so jammed packed with old English it makes my head want to explode. I usually get easily bored with the readings and tend to fall asleep after a few paragraphs. However, most of this reading is what leads to a successful test grade, especially with those challenging American Heritage exams. So it is essential. To overcome this fault that I have I try to schedule times that I do my reading, definitely not late at night or in my bed. I also start my readings a lot earlier than I need to have them read by so that if I can't take it anymore or I do fall asleep that I will still have time to finish it later. So far those tactics have been successful although I'm still not perfect at doing all my reading assignments. But I have years to perfect that! My other source of resistance is the money issue. I'm just a poor college student that needs to be able to pay all the expenses. So I got a job and while that doesn't always come through all the way I know that if I keep on working hard and pay my tithing that somehow I will have enough to make it and I have faith that that is true.
