Have You Ever Failed?

Hi, blogger! Today, everything goes normally. Going to school, having several classes from 6.30 am until 3.00 pm, laughing with my friends, etc. But, after math class (which is the last period of the day), I was going to pack my backpack and ready to go home when my teacher gave me an envelope. I was shocked when I read the title ‘AS Level Examination Result May-June 2009

Then, most of my friends screamed as they open and read their result. My hand was shaking. I don’t wanna know the result. I know I’m weak at Physics, that’s why I challenge myself to study harder and took the exam, even though I had the choice to not take the exam.

And when I handed the result, I really don’t wanna know. The smartest kid in my class got C. Then, the second smartest girl (she is one of my best friend and I knew that she mastered physics as good as the smartest one) got D. D?! How about me?!

The other girl who is also smart at Physics put her result back into its envelope and looked so down. I asked her result. ‘I got E,’ she said. Oh my god. It’s freaking me out, really.

Finally, I bravely opened mine. And then I read it. I cannot say that mine id better than my classmate. I felt very horrible. I failed to get a good grade.. again. It makes me wanna scream out loud.. and hungry.

I went to Kamome, a Japanese supermarket nearby my school. They have Takoyaki, one of  my favourite Japanese snacks. I was hungry so I bought it and went home. The takoyaki was delicious as always =9 It also bringing back my mood.

I didn’t get  the grade that I want it. I was disappointed, and that’s it. That means I haven’t performed my best in the exam so I have to be better next time. I can’t be down and cry for days. It won’t change the fact that I failed. It won’t make the examiner in Cambridge University changes my grade.

Like I said, Physics is my weakest subject at school. I challenge myself to take the exam. I studied hard for that. I failed but I am not feel so down. I’m proud of myself. Not because I failed, but because I’ve tried. And that’s what really matter to me.

So, I think we should take a chance and try it. If it doesn’t work out, then that’s it. It’s not because you are too afraid to try it. At least you have already tried it.There’s nothing wrong with trying something. Try your best and when the result comes out (even though you don’t get what you expected) but there will be a good feeling comes towards you. Believe me =)

I’ll be better next time and learned from my failure. That’s me. Because I believe, behind of a failure, there’s a success waiting for me. It won’t come by itself, we have to get up and find it. The success that we don’t know yet.

Oops, already 7 pm. I gotto go Aikido. Bye bye everyone, see ya’!
