It’s easy to get discouraged when you embark on a project with high hopes and a vision, only to fail. It can be especially hard when you’re a teenager. However, you must realise that not succeeding at first doesn’t mean you have failed; unless of course, you stop trying, in which case you really have failed.

 

If you write an exam and fail it, it could mean different things. It could be that you didn’t study your course materials enough, or you didn’t study the right way, or you went about answering questions the wrong way. There’s always something to learn.

 

Re-sitting an exam is an opportunity to do better than you could ever have imagined— if you remain optimistic. Choose to see the opportunity and advantage this gives the new you. Yes, the new you; you are not the same person who took the exams the first time.

             

Go give it your best!
