Honestly, my heart dropped when I did not see my name on the first four slides of top students. Those pages revealed those students who managed to score 10,9,8,7 A1s.
When I did not see my name up there, i freaked out. Composed exterior, frenzied interior. Indeed, I felt glad for three of my good girl friends for getting 10 & 9A1s. It was not an easy feat. Yet at the same time, I envied them. & was constantly questioning myself about my performance. As the top students went to take photographs with the vips, I sat there, reflecting in disappointment, not prepared to face the reality.
Finally, it was my turn. I went to my form teachers, signed my name, and they handed me my results. " Good job, Janice. This is very good results."
I looked down, skimmed through the grades, and let out a sigh of relief. My lips curved into a smile. My furrowed brows no longer tensed. "Thank God,"I whispered. Well it wasn't that bad, at least, I still managed to get straight As (: Praise the Lord!
Of course, initially, I wasn't satisfied. I was angry at myself and jealous at others who did exceptionally well. What happened to me? I thought crossly to myself.
At the end of the day, I prayed and prayed and asked God for forgiveness for behaving as such. I thanked Him for His endless grace upon me, for without God's guidance and wisdom, I definitely would not have made it.
So, thank you Jesus. For the next chapter of my life, whatever JC i go to, let your will be done in my life. For this life has been dedicated unto you and I will obey you and bring glory to your name.
All glory to God (:
