How To Pass Ece Board Exam?

I need prayers for a HUGE exam on Wed. 3/30/11?

• My post is similar to the one by the 19 year old young woman whose family is non-supportive of her continuing her education. I could have posted an identical question/plea way back at the same age. Now, here I am 52 years old and with a Master's degree in Nursing and this coming Wed. Mar. 30, 2011, I have the most difficult and career defining and challenging final exam I have ever prepared for in my life. My parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. do not support me nor understand anything at all about furthering one's education. My father until his dying day this past Dec. kept saying, "I just do not understand why you have to go on, you are already a nurse, can't you just work on the hopsital floor forever? " Years ago, I stopped trying to expalin to them the education and hard studying and the expense of a Master's degree and various certification exams. He nor anyone else in my extended family understand that practitioners, midwives, etc. have gone on not only thorugh grad school, but have had to take Huge certification exams, too. I have only two chances to take and pass this HUGE exam, and if I do not pass (my brain is so tired and old by this point) I will suffer Major Depression as my whole adult life has been about preparing for this HUGE certification exam. My 4 children do understand as they have seen me study for many years, especially on a part-time basis so I could work at the same time, and rasie them, struggle to pay for my education, apply for and win many merit based scholarships to get to this point. No one at my local church has an education as far as mine, in fact, out of over 150 members, only three have at least a 4 year college education, myself, the pastor, and the choir director. I am wiritng to ask for the prayers for you all on this board. I am asking for anyone's prayers who understands what I and the 19 year old are going through, and from anyone who supports furthering one's education. Thank you! This huge certification exam is 4 hours long and begins at 1:30 Eastern Time on Wed. March 30, 2011.
