Yes yes. Its the holidays, and the results are out. Whats left now is to enjoy the rest of the holidays before getting back into the second part of your supposed year. But first, lemme say a few words. ( im not very good at this but im gonna try.)
For those who got their expected grades:
A big big congratulations to you guys! hahah! Glad your hard work and prayers every night has paid off. Haha. Can finally enjoy a nice nice holiday without the sub-paper/parents nagging agony.
Woo~
For those who did not get their expected grades:
Erm..
For yr 1 - Don't feel so down. Its only your first year, first part of the semester. Lots more opportunities for you to bring up your GPA. Continue to work hard, and im sure you can bring ur grades up.
For yr 2 - Its halfway through already but there's still time. Dont let this setback erm.. set you back? Still got 2.2 to chiong. Its like what some people say. "Failure's not the worst thing. The worst thing is to give up. " So don't give up. =)
For yr 3 - You have no (insert whatever you want here) exams! Shoo~
Aaand yes maybe you guys have some parents who are demanding but just know that they are just worried about you and want you to do well. Disappointment at first yes but im sure you guys will be able to make them proud in the end =)
Its like what they say; "Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its NOT the end."
Theres this wise man who also said; " If you fail, try again. If you fail again,try somemore. You will get used to the failing eventually and be able to brush it aside, leading to your success. " (im not sure if this works. Still trying it out myself)
This little joke here is to cheer you guys up. Cracks me up whenever i read it. Hope it helps.
