Swim for it!

I cannot tell you how excited I am today. A project my group and I have been working on is coming close to its end. Three huge assignments are due next week. My heart is racing and the thoughts are catching up. I enjoy working on assignments, whether large or small. What I have found most challenging is group work.
I don't know about you, but for me, working in a group on the same project is kind of like swimming with a weight tied to your ankle. Now, I won't say how heavy the weight; that depends on the situation.
So, what to you do?
You could give up. But then you'd drown. No no no no. That wouldn't do.
You could tred water and scream for help until someone shows up (like a life guard maybe). Until you realize the sign, "No lifeguard on duty. Swim at you own risk!" Ok, so tredding water won't do.
Now you might be asking yourself how you got into this situation to begin with.
But that still won't help you with your current situation. You'll have to swim for shore.
With faith, hope, perserverance and my least favorite word patience; you can do it.

It will take time to make it to shore. You might be really frustrated along the way with no one there to help you; however, through your diligence and faith, your goal can be accomplished.
God may send someone or something your way.
Then again, he may not. Your only alternative it to have faith and hold tight to hope.
Be patient with your current situation. Keep swimming. Remain focused. You will make it to the shore in due time with your reward waiting for you; either a pay increase, a promotion, an "A++++", a new perspective, or in some cases, a new found friend.
Only God knows. And he's cheering you on.
Swim on!
