Well, this feels strange for me to write this and I appreciate the support I received from everyone , however I think it's time for to retire and unregister from Shiachat.

I've heard it oft as if I dreamed,
Far distant, sweet and lone
The funeral dirge it ever seemed
Of reason dead and gone. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Salam alaikum, I haven't seen you in a while.

Thank you for keeping me in my prayers. I managed to get to school on time. It's a small thing but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Aww of course! It's strange how sadness and happiness goes hand in hand sometimes.
-
Yeah, it is very strange. I feel bad that I had forgotten.
-
But you hadn't, thing is no matter what takes place in our lives, whether it be a happy or sad occasion. We will always have the tragedies that took place to ahlulbayt (as) and their companions in our hearts.

Yes, we do, brother. Anyway, I am going to be going to school in January next month. But we need to figure out how we can hang out, man.

For sure. CC? I was thinking of checking into some courses there. I really wish there was a proper Shi'a school or center here. Considering trying to learn Arabic and a, totally afraid of it!

So how have u been doing bro? How's Ramadhan going for you?
-
I am fine and trying to hang in there , Ramadan has been difficult for me right now. I am on a weird sleeping schedule and my family doesn't make fasting easy . My mom doesn't like it when I fast, she's afraid that I'll get sick and wither away to the point of extreme weakness.I have been trying but I end up having to break it earlier than most people.
Sucks that I am the only Muslim in my family but at least I have support from Shiachat.
Right now, all I ask my Lord is be able to keep my iman still and forgive my sins. I was keeping a good track until recently. I ended up sinning due to stress, now I am ashamed of myself.
Thanks for asking, bro.

I understand you man. It's definitely harder for you. You struggle is similar to the struggle of the first muslims and companions of the prophet, some of which their parents made it hard on them for being a muslim.
But at all times, don't forget that there is light at the end of the tunnel bro. And also that, Allah (SWT) knows what you are going through.
Imagine a teacher giving one of his students a harder exam compared to other students, and then during the exam, he sees that one student stressing and struggling more than others. He gave him the harder exam, because it suited his level as he had higher potential, although the teacher knew that he had higher potential, but through this exam, he wanted that student himself to know and believe that he's different to others, more capable.
So bro, your circumstance is similar. You didn't create your circumstance, it is given to you due to the destiny of Allah, ie. that you aren't surrounded by muslim family and friends. But, as with the result of a harder exam, if you go through this well, inshallah you'll have a much better reward.
Although in an exam, the most help one can get is to ask the teacher to read the question for us, but in the life exam, we can ask Allah (SWT) to guide us and even help us through certain problems. So don't forget to make dua to Allah. And don't forget to read lots of Quran, for indeed, the Quran through it's wisdom and stories of earlier prophets and their struggles, gives us a healing, hope and guidance.
Lastly, take it easy on your self brother. See if you can make your sleeping schedule normal. See if you can explain to your parents that 1.5 billion people fast this month. See if you can explain to them the scientifically proven health benefits of fasting.
Wish you all the best brother, may Allah make this easier for you. Don't forget us in your duas too.
