A disappointment
Today, I received my paper from an exam that I prepared for how many days. I spent late nights studying and looking for references that can aid me in understanding the lessons better. Unfortunately, I failed this exam. Not because I didn’t understand the lessons, but because I forgot to add something important to the equation which lead me to getting wrong answers. My professor will only give 0 or 100% as remark for the exam and of course I got 0. This exam was so important since it comprises 40% of our final grade, meaning I need to retake the class next semester because I got zero.
To be honest, I’ve already prepared myself for this situation because I knew I messed up fifteen minutes before the exam was done but part of me still hurts because all of the preparations I made was put to nothing because of my clumsiness. I really want to cry but I need to get back up and prepare for my other exams.
I’ll take this as a lesson that from now on there will be no more room for mistakes and I will learn to be more careful. Practice and practice until small mistakes won’t occur anymore. For now, I might be down but I’ll use this as a start for something great that’s ahead. I just need to sulk myself to this feeling of failure and disappointment and not let this happen once again the next time it happens.
I got this. Let’s not give up and keep moving forward.
