To Dan, miracles are a work of fiction. Success comes from hard work, determination, and faith. Lots, and lots of faith. He contemplated this notion as his hands were clamped together in prayer, elbows resting on the edge of his bed. He prayed whenever he had the chance, as it was his sense of security and stability. His relationship with Jesus was the only thing in this world that made him feel truly safe.

Dan had recently been accepted into his dream school, Liberty University. He was scheduled to leave home for the first time in 18 years and live in a dorm room with a complete stranger. Though, he wasn't too afraid. Liberty was a good Christian school, and he could only assume the people attending would be wonderful. And if not, he had his faith to guide him.

"Amen," he whispered and climbed into his bed, basking in the warmth of his blankets. Dan's mind raced with possible conclusions of his college outcome, making it nearly impossible to fall asleep and escape reality.
