I am hoping for peace of mind, so that I may radiate positive vibes among my friends and family, especially since I have been facing a few setbacks with my past relations, my current relationships with people such as my sister, ad with friends. I'm finding it hard to be at peace with myself. i keep feeling like a failure and I share none of my sentiments with any of my friends because they know me to be funny, optimistic and sarcastic, but they do say that those who laugh the loudest are the ones who cry in pain the worst. I just feel like change isn't going to happen for the better anytime soon and I just want to feel better and hope that my approach to everything will be more positive. I'm havng a rocky relationship with God and I dont want that.

Please pray that my re-appeal for probation, appeal for Change of Grades, as well as my Recommendation letters, may all be handled well and thoroughly taken care of in my favor. I also pray for the much needed wisdom, knowledge and understanding that my interview with the Dean for Academic Affairs might require or demand from me. I really don't want to transfer anywhere else and I promise that I'll do anything and everything it takes to fight for my right to stay in my university. My grades should not define my chances of staying, and although I have failed them, I am faithful and sure that I will take everything to great heights to make sure I don't have any low grades in the future. I just want to bloom where I am planted. God guided me and helped me when I first applied and that went flawless, I just hope that all of my efforts as well as my family's efforts to keep me here in the school will eventually be pull a successful turn of events and that I may stay a student in the Ateneo. Lord God, please guide and bless me through this dark time.

I know you might not know me personally, but I am asking you a simple prayer. You see, unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, it wasn't enough for me to pass my first year in college. I have submitted a letter of appeal for probation to ask for reconsideration to let me continue my studies in the university I go to. I have yet a day to find out if they approve my appeal as well as my friend's appeal. Please pray that I may continue my studies there, and that my family will accept me and all my shortcomings and continue to love me more and more each day and not resent me for the burdens that I have brought upon my education. Please pray that when I tell them about my situation, they will not be so hard on me because I'm already depressed and anxious about my situation as I wait in agony. Please speak blessings upon me, Mika and my friend Erika, that our appeal for probation will be approved so we can continue our studies in the Ateneo de Manila University.
