Results – a reality that has to exist?
This year I got the result of my O’ Levels and honestly speaking, I was very disappointed with the way I performed. However, one thing I learned from this result was that whatever I do; my parents and friends love me. Had I received amazing grades, I’d be loved the same way as they love me today. At the end of the day, it’s not always about Educational results. Rather it’s about the result that I produce in life and the moments when I make my parents proud. I try making my parents proud and at moments I have. When I went to Japan 20 years after my father went there, I did realize the proud smile in my father’s face. When I became the first person in the family to go to Singapore, I did see the pride in the face of my relatives. These are moments that I really preserve.
Talking about results, I have to talk about a reality that does exist. When I finished my exams on 21st of May, I gave a sigh of relief. I felt as if I am free from the study web. For 2 months, I got myself involved in various activities and spent times enjoying with friends and family. I was so free of stress until 3 days before the result.Yes,that was the time when I got to know that the reality was just a few days later. I was scared, to be honest. I knew what I’d done and I would get what I deserved. On the day of the result, I was really busy. From the morning, I kept myself busy so that I wouldn’t have to feel scared. I reached home at around 4:10 pm when the results were already announced. I tried checking my results but the site wasn’t opening. At 5:30 pm, damn!!The results are out and I did terrible! When I saw my grades, I was alone in my room. I had no reaction what so ever. A little moment later, my parents came and congratulated me on passing my O’ levels. I didn’t see the disappointment that I expected and that made me relieved.Now,if I was in the place of any young boy who is expected to do so much, I’d probably suicide ,but I know that its not the end of the world and I’ll continue to fight,what so ever.
I don’t know why I am writing this. However, I know that results are something that we cannot escape and even when we grow old, we will be scared of a result – result of dying! To all my friends out there, who are scared of results – take a chill pill! Enjoy your time because the result will come out one day and it’s only about that ONE day. There is no need to spend 2 months worrying about what your results will be, what your mistakes were and what could have been better! There is no use regretting your action – regretting will NOT change anything!You can always learn from your mistakes and thats the most important point.
I know I’ve to get many more results and I’m ready for all those results! To all my friends expecting more results, learn to take it easy – after all, there’s always a second chance and even if you didn’t do well, your parents are proud of you, and that is what really matters!
