I feel prepared...mostly. There are a couple questions that confused me slightly on the practice test, but I feel okay. I can't help but wonder if I'll get a score on the Accuplacer that will surprise me. Like a how-on-earth-did-I-do-that score. But I push it out of my mind. I'll get an average score... hopefully. My dad says he'll be praying for me. Kathryn's praying. And I've prayed. 'God, don't let the questions be totally confusing, but don't make them easy or anything. Help me.'
I'm in the testing room taking the college math Accuplacer, and I'm sort of panicking. I've forgotten how to do a lot of this. My heart pounds slow and I take a deep breath and send up another prayer. It takes a while, but I finish...in about the amount of time it took to take the English comprehension, sentence structure and elementary math combined--and by the way, it doesn't feel like elementary math. I could not see a fifth grader doing that. I didn't do anything even close to that in elementary. I answer the last question and it's a stab in the dark, because I haven't the first idea what a secosine is. Using logic, I take my best guess and print the test results. "Good job on the math," the proctor says, handing me the papers. I take the scores back to a college adviser to see what the next step is. "I've never seen anyone do that before," she remarks, looking through the scores. Never? I can't help but smile, but it takes me a little longer to realize. My prayers were answered. I didn't even think this could happen. It was a fantasy that I had, nothing more. But with God isn't anything possible?

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
