I'm 20 years old and have been given the opportunity to work for a very prestigious health company that will offer me benefits, possible tuition reimbursement, and about $25,000 a year. For years I've been living in a dysfunctional home where mentally and emotionally I've been hurt over and over and I'm not happy. Some of my family who loves and supports me has agreed to help me go through school but I need this job to be able to afford my health and an apartment so that I can finally get away from my crazy life. I was almost given a contingent offer, but it was revoked because they require 100% attendance for training, but I notified them (throughout the entire interviewing and reviewing process) that I might have to miss one day to be in court because I've pressed charges against my step-father for sexually assaulting me as a child. I didn't go into detail about the charges with them, but just told them that it was because I was in a legal situation where I was pressing charges on someone but that I myself do not have any criminal history. This case has been postponed over and over again over the course of three years, and it just so happens that we're supposedly going to trial soon. This court date is supposedly supposed to be important and my lawyer said that it was best that I be there. This job is so important to me, to starting my life and finally being able to move out on my own and try and make something more of myself so that I may be happy. My relationship with some of the people in my home causing my distress have caused negativity in myself, my relationships, my work my school, my general outlook on life and my respect for many people. I just need to be happy again, doing something and being someplace that is better for myself and a better place in my life, and this job is the ticket for that. I've been working in dead-end jobs in the food industry and sales since I was 16. This is my opportunity to finally make something better of myself, and I really am afraid that this one stupid court date could ruin it all if the company decides not to give me the offer again to work for them. Keep in mind, they have another class for training starting about 2 weeks after this court date, and apparently it's the one I would most likely be assigned to, so I don't understand why this date should really matter. Please oh God please, everyone who understands please pray for me, I'm week and I'm afraid and I'm doubtful of this job! It would crush me if they take this offer away from me, also because of the fact that I lost this opportunity because of a stupid court date that's due to something that was done to me years ago that I didn't deserve. To me it's like I'd have to keep suffering because of what he did and it's not fair. I know life's not fair, and I don't think I'm a special case for a miracle, but I'm asking and pleading with you God, to please give this job to me, please let me have this opportunity! I've worked so hard to get to where I am, I'm not going to mess up because I want only good things in my life and I have to help myself and I need to be happy again and get away from here for my own good and the good of my relationships with friends and family and loved ones. I really believe that I deserve this and that I've endured a lot of hardship to finally get out into the clearing for once. Anyone who knows me knows that bad things and negativity follow me and family around. Please God, please allow me this to change my life, to be better and happier and well again. I'm desperately in need of your mercy and I know that because you love me you will consider this need in my life. Please pray for me. 3(
