I still am impressed by this progress. It has just reminded me that with focus anything can happen.
This above is my Grade 12 progress report. My main focus was mathematics. It was frustrating for me how I failed to score good points on tests and exams but understood almost every concept that Mr. Msezane, our maths teacher, introduced to us. After that score of 36% for March I said the magic word, no not adacadabra, FUCK IT! Yes, FUCK IT is the word, the magic word.
I reflected on my performance. I started studying patterns from my past tests and examinations. Where did I lack? I could identify some chapters that were giving me trouble in Physics and Chemistry but with Maths there was no pattern that I could find. That meant that I needed to search further, I rewrote my last exam which was a March exam. As you can see it was a flop. Thirty six percent? What? I knew I could do way better. When I rewrote the paper for myself in my room I scored way much better. And I discovered many things. One, I could not keep time. Two, I undermined myself, always thought Maths was difficult. Three, I had this huge fear for Maths and my maths teacher, I remember sweating like an athlete in my maths exam and I was asking myself, what is it that I am afraid of?
From my March exam, knowing exactly where I lacked I approached my next exam, June, with a warrior's attitude. I almost forgot the most important thing that I discovered, it was that I moved with no intention. I used to do math problems almost every single day just for the enjoyment of it. There was no reason that I should fail an exam. But because I did not put enough emphasis on the fact that I wanted to pass exams, I failed. When I studied with enough intent of passing, I passed.
Just so that this does not go to waste. I feel the need to complete the picture. This is my progress below.
