Full of uncertainties, it is. Full of uncertainties most people I know do not have. But I know so few people. Full of relative certainties, my life is. Where I am getting my three meals tomorrow, where I am sleeping tonight.
Moreover, the uncertainties do not make life worse. If I keep comparing my life to those of "others I know," I will never be able to appreciate and enjoy it.
I am so thankful my parents brought me here, and that as of now I am studying at the University of Georgia. All of a sudden I am filled with genuine thankfulness. I am thankful for my uncertainties. I have to see beyond this school project, beyond my math grade, my hazy summer plans, my empty bank account, etc. and see... see my core. See my beating heart and the life of my soul.
Uncertainties are so little, so temporary. In what seems like a blink of an eye they will become indelibly certain marks in the past, and my only option will be to deal with it and move on. What is certain is that God allows me to be beyond all this. What matters is my soul.
What good for is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit the soul?

Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.
