Result
Suppose to post this long ago but somehow could not...
I never enjoy result release day. At least up till now.
Why? Of course there are reasons to celebrate. Result day is like a culmination of efforts, either 4 or 5 years of effort. For some, they got better than expected and I would love to celebrate with them. But there also those who were disappointed and often at the loss. Their pains probably have a greater influence on emotion than those of success story.
It was just difficult to celebrate when you know there are hurting hearts.
Today, when I called back to ask for the result, I could feel my mouth was dried and my stomach was full of butterflies. The truth hurts when you realise that what you always suspected - not great result - came true. Rather partial truth. When I had the chance to look at the complete result, I know that my science teacher did their best. :-) I must have the serenity to accept that there are things I can't change. I am glad at least that for my 5AB, some of them did better and that they were given some choices. Of cos, there were some who got lesser than I expected. Such is the flaw of exams, 2 hours to assess 5 years of work. The ideal is 100% passing and eligible to polytechnics. But it is an ideal after all.
I am going to miss them a lot.
