A single hour

7:30 AM

I was there, waiting as early as I could, my heart was beating very fast, even the those around me could hear my heart beating, I thought I was the only one who was so nervous it was obvious, around me all was familiar, the little bench I was sitting on, the flower vase by the window and all my friends and frenemies 😞, I was so anxious I started sweating profusely.

8:00

A lady walked up to us , and as soon as she spoke, I wanted to jump as I was startled, she asked if I was okay, and I told her that I was, she then called me to come get my result, I stood up but yet I could feel my body shaking , as I was sweating, I was ushered into the principal’s office and asked to sit, she asked me what my name was and which class i belonged to which i told her , but she could very well see that I was tensed, so she gave me a glass of water , which I drank happily as she sort through her table searching for my papers, she then sighed as if to show that she had found what she was looking for. She handed me my papers with this confusing sentence ” Oh you did well, but you can do better” she then gave me a handshake and then I walked out of her office.

8:30

As I walked out of her office holding my envelope so tight to my chest as if I were holding my life in my hands, I walked past my frenemies and friends, all gawking their eyes at me, I walked past them as fast as I could and when I saw that I was away from anyone’s sight I sat on the floor behind closed doors and opened my envelope, I searched for the summary sheet and tears fell from my eyes as I looked at it .

8:40

Of course she had just being pulling my leg, I couldn’t help but smile , I had 4 A’s and 5B’s with one C in French which was not my thing. I knew I could do better but this is a result I am proud of.

8:50

As I walked home I couldn’t help but smile , I was happy because that wasn’t my best year, I thought I couldn’t get less than 5 C’s and maybe one or two B’s, I will try to make my result full of A’s next session I said to my self as I went home.

How many of you guys had gone through my situation, while getting a result, like just remembering it and putting it down on paper would make me relive the whole process, have you gone through this process before? 😊😉 Well I have
