You do not have to place a comma after the word "English". And the definite article "the" should replace the indefinite article "a".
Below I will place the above corrections to your entry in red and bold letters. This (_) indicates space.

0 votedSeptember 16, 20123College does not need to be capitalized unless you are naming a specific college i.e.<em> My mother went to Ruthsberg College when she was 18 years of age</em>. Notice how you capitalize it when it is as a title, such as Ruthsberg College (this is a made-up college).
You do not have to place a comma after the word "English". In most cases (such as this) the comma is not necessary before the conjunction word "because". You do not have to place the ending "ing" to the word "travel" for this sentence.
Replace "able" at the end of the sentence with the word in itself "comfort", this makes more sense for your sentence. You can replace "and easy to talk with other people" with "and with ease..."
"As" is more appropriate for this sentence than the word "a", and the word "to" before the word "traveling" is not necessary here.
I will rewrite your entry, and with red and bold letters will I input the mistakes I mentioned above (This _ means a space was added):
I am learning English_because I want to go to a college, travel with comfort, to find a better job, and with ease talk with other people. My native language is Russian, as I grew up in Russia. I enjoy_ traveling, to read, and to rest with my family.
Bonus Tip:
You can put either the word "with" or to" for the sentence "...and with ease talk with other people." or "...and with ease talk to other people." it still makes sense. You don't necessarily <em>have</em> to put "to" every time you're listing what you like to do. For example it is still okay if you put it like this: "I enjoy traveling, reading, and resting with my family." you may find a lot of books in the English language that do this. You can also put "to" before you even mention what you enjoy to do and it will still be okay. For example:
<em>"I enjoy </em><em>to</em> <em>travel, to read, and to rest with my family."</em>
Notice how the structure of the sentence changes a bit. When you put "to before you list any of the things you like to do, that also changes how you put them each in the sentence. It wouldn't make sense to say, <em>"I enjoy to traveling..."</em> but rather <em>"I enjoy to travel..."</em>. You put the word in it's nominative form--<em>"travel"--</em>instead of <em>"traveling"</em>. Note here then you will also <em>have </em>to put the word "to" before the next thing in your list, i.e. <em>"...to read, and to rest with my family.", </em>as it makes much more sense like this.
It's also okay to add in the sentence the indirect object of which you like to read, i.e <em>"...to read books"</em>. Or to make it more direct and add it's author,<em> "...to read Be Perfect by Andrew Murray..."</em> or to make it direct (and not adding the author's name), <em>"...to read the book Absolute Surrender.". </em> You can categorize all the books by one or more authors, such as:
1.<em> "...to read books by Andrew Murray..."</em>
2. <em>"...to read books by Andrew Murray and Sheila Walsh..."</em>
I hop that helps you a lot! You're doing good in your English though, so keep on studying and pressing through anything that seems to difficult in the English language! Keep on studying hard and you will be great at speaking, reading, and writing in the English language! I hope that this has helped you in any way! Keep up the good work!
0 votedSeptember 9, 20121A sentence must always start with a capital letter. The personal pronoun "I" must always be capitalized too. For formal writing it is very important to know that the numbers are almost always written in their written form. A period is very important and is used to make new sentences, if there are no periods in your sentence it's called a "run-on" sentence (and most people will get confused reading with run-on sentences).
For this sentence it would be better for the preposition "of" to be used instead of the preposition "in". The past tense verb "went" is more appropriate then the word "going", as it makes sense in the context of this sentence.The preposition “for” would be used here instead of the word “to”. For informal writing it is okay to place a “sad-face”, but for formal writing it should never be used (giving you this as a tip for both the informal and formal writing).
Below I will rewrite what your wrote with the corrections I gave you above. The corrections will be red and bold:
<a name="mce_13_start"></a>Today was the first day of school and I didn't sleep before I went to school. For three days it was so hard for me. But I can't sleep at night,so I don't know what to do. :(This tradition could make me lose my future, and I am confused.
*BONUS TIP*:
For sentences that are different from this one (for example talking about something positive and then talking about the negative) remember to place the “sad-face” after you addressed the negative, otherwise (talking about the positive or nothing in the negative zone and there is a sad-face) might be really confusing. Usually the “sad-face” would be placed after the sentence and not before it.
It makes sense for the “sad- face” to be placed after the sentence that you feel is sad, but placing it <em>before</em> the negative (in which is the reason for the sad face) might confuse it's (the article, etc.) readers. This extra tip is for anytime you want to put a “sad-face” and not sure when or where to place it (when the subject has both positive and negative things in it.)
The same thing goes for the positive. If you are talking about something bad, and then you place the smiley face <em>before</em> the you talk about the positive—the reason for the smiley to be there—then it would be really confusing as some may link the smiley to the negative talked about previously. But it is always good to make a distinction of <em>where </em>and <em>why</em> you are placing.
Smiley to be linked automatically to the positive and sad-face to automatically to the bad (and to be grammatically correct before placing them...but since they are used mostly only for informal conversation I don't think it would be such a big deal grammatically for the fact almost all informal conversation is already grammatically incorrect. Like, “i” instead of “I” or “u r” or “ur” instead of “you are..” and “your..”).
I hope that was helpful!! Keep studying hard in the English language and you will be great! You just need some more practice and you'll be great at it! Keep up the good hard work! I really hope I have helped you, and I hope the bonus tip has been helpful for you as well!
If you have any questions or problems in the English language let me know and I will help you in every area that I can. I hope you keep improving more and more in your studies of the English language!
Sincerely,

0 votedSeptember 9, 20120- Я люблю Я люблю Богу, и Иисус есть Его Сын. Он есть путь к Богу - Он ему дверь. I know that it could be either "Бога" or "Богу", and "Иисуса" or "Иисус". For which case should I remember to transform the ending to (which)? Is the title for this correct, or also needing to be corrected? Thank you, I appreciate your time.September 9, 201270
