MY FEELINGS ON GETTING LOW MARKS
An examination is at best a gamble but after writing an examination, we know what we can expect. I had worked hard for this examination and I had done my papers will. I was quite confident that I would get a high 1st division. There was a sneaking hop in my mind that I might get a merit position. I waited anxiously for the results.
On the day when the results were to be announced, I reached school well before time. As soon as the results were put on the board, I hunted for my roll number. I had sacred a first division but just scraped through it. I could not believe it. How could I get such low marks? All my answers were correct. Then how had I scored only 80% marks in mathematics and how could I get barely forty-five marks in social studies? I was very in it. I could not believe it and I felt cheated.
At first I felt like crying. All my hard work had gone waste and I was in such a rage that I would have accosted my examiner, if I could only meet them. What did they mean by giving me such low marks when I deserved better. They probably evaluated my papers and even relatives after a quarrel somewhere or at home or in a bad mood. Buy wy should I be made to suffer? I felt shy of facing my friends, teacher and even relatives. Gradually, anger and shame gave way to dull acceptable of my fate. My parents comforted me by telling that are other examinations. Moreover, first division is not so bad that I should fell so miserable. What cannot be cured must be endured. Anyway, it is great healer. I too felt normal after sometime.
