Is the money a gift or a test?
Today I had the joyful surprise to find out my UTSA debt was cleared and I wouldnt have to owe on any loans. At first, I was startled and then I wanted to cry. It seemed too good to be true, I had recieved another grant and would be given 1,197 even after deducting my tuition. A blessing! Too good to be true was correct. The extra grant is a mistake, only given to me because I was once signed up as a science degree. This SMART degree is to encourage students to major in the sciences and math, Psychology is incompatible. Now I have to find a way to get UTSA to credit the money I owe back to my account and give me back my loans. All this with one week left before school and the phone lines arent opening up. I don't know who to turn to. At first, I seriously considered changing back to my origional science game plan, extremely tempted by the extra money, but than I would be just as greedy as those same people I despise. besides I love Psychology and Sociology and plan to make a difference in this world through my ideas. My father warned me, the worst mistake a person could make is following the money instead of their dreams-This has haunted him all his life since he chose a business major instead of his destined path to be a doctor. He recalled feeling like he wasnt good enough but later down the road realized he had to have been since all the students he tutored ended up following his dream. Now he is in a job that drives him crazy on good days. I actually spent four long, torturous hours trying to find sciences classes that would fit. I found a perfect schedule too. I thought this again was a blessing from God. But is money a true reason to change the path that truly interests me or is God using the money to show me where my destiney truly lies? Is the money a gift or a test?
