Fall from University Grace
Just as Adam was cast out of Eden I was kicked out of university; but while his transgression 1 was eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, my sin was ignoring the tree. After my dismal 2 performance in my first year of university, I contemplated 3 the reasons for my failure. Now, I understand the two factors that contributed to my downfall: the lack of a career goal and premature 4 independence.
Without a career goal, I lacked direction and motivation. About halfway 5 through my final year of high school, I was hounded by my parents to enroll 6 in university, but until that time I had not given any thought to what career I wanted to pursue. To silence their nagging 7, I told them I wanted to be an engineer. Though I got high marks in math, physics, and chemistry, I was bored with them, and my dislike of the sciences became apparent in the first four months of university. I failed all my science courses.
Snow fell in mid-December—final exam time—but I didn't notice either event, because I had become a creature of the night preying 8 on full beer mugs in smoke-filled bars. my exams had been returned and I had failed all my courses. I didn't care; neither did my friends, whose marks were equally bad. We bragged 9 of our freedom from our parents, not realizing that their influence was more beneficial than the influence we had on each other.
When Christmas day arrived, I found a "withdrawal 10 from university" notice in my stocking. Unearned independence was the fruit from the tree of knowledge that tempted 11 me and caused my downfall. Because I was not mature enough to accept the responsibility for my own future and because I abused my privileges of independence, I failed my first year of university. The causes of my downfall have taught me maturity 12 and responsibility, and in the future I will not ignore the tree of knowledge again. Falling from Eden was enough to teach Adam; the same is true for me.
