Today is day the O level results are released.
Initially, I wasn’t that fearful. Maybe because I was busy putting up the finishing touches of the graduation presents for my friends. So I was kind of occupied. Plus I kept the verse Jeremiah 29:11 in my mind. Elvira’s dad mentioned that verse yesterday during the prayer section.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
With the verse in my mind, I calm myself down and just put myself in the state of mind where any marks is okay.
As my principal went through the percentage passes and the people who got the various numbers of distinction, my heart beat at a high frequency. I got so scared when I could not find my name at the 6 distinctions but I saw Felicia’s and Phyllis’ name appeared in the 6-distinction list. My mind was like “oh shit oh shit, die already die already.” However, my biggest worry was my English grade.
Then there was my name on the 5-distinction list.
I was so relieved when I saw my L1R5. As it showed that the possibility of me failing English was as close to zero percent. My heart lifted. Man the feeling was great.
Initially the principal said that she would not personally pass the results slips to those who obtain 5 distinctions. The floor let out a sound of disagreement, so my principal continued, to appease the crowd. Heng! Haha, I thought I would not have a chance to go on stage. 
When I was handed my results slip, I saw my English grade—B3. Awesome!!!! For a person who always fail English, it was a great improvement and definitely satisfying. Praise the Lord!
I did not notice that my Chinese obtained an A1. Oh my goodness! Sweet!
Overall, though I did not like score 8 distinction or get a 6 pointer. I was proud and indeed God did bless me as I felt that the results did reflect the amount of hard work I put in and God indeed was really encouraging when I wanted to give up on my language. Though my results are not that good according to the world’s standard, I am happy and glad.
Okay, my friends did rather on the good side. I am so happy for them!
I also found out that it is rather difficult to console a non-Christian friend, as I cannot use God’s promises to encourage her. All I can do is just to pray for her so she will have the courage to pick herself up.
Hallelujah!
