I remember that day like it was yesterday... :/ It was around 11 in the morning,friday,2011. I went to school to fetch my report ( Masiyile High School). As I walked towards the gate,my heart was pumping like mad!! Okay so I went in the stuff room and as I raised my eyes,Mr Mguqulwa,who was my class teacher at the time,was standing right infront of me with a worried face :/ . I knew right at that moment that things were everything else but alright :o . He gave me my report... And walked away... I stood there alone...I openned it... All I could see was code 2 and 3!! Id faled grade 10!! :o I couldnt feel my skin!! I couldnt breath properly and then I found myself crying,alone,in the stuff room :( ... My heart,my heart was sooo painful!! [[f9.heartbreak]] I was worried about my family! My mom,what was I gonna tell her?? O.o :( How was I gonna start to tell her?? Cause I had lost and 365 days doing nothing,wasting my time,my energy,my familys money and everyone who had contributed their time and energy(teachers,friends and etc)...Dont get me wrong,friends. I didnt fail Grade 10 because I was dumb. No! As a matter of fact I was one of the intelligent learners in Masiyile High School. I dont wanna brag but its the honest truth. I failed because I was ignorant towards my books. I thought I didnt need to study because I already knew everything anyway. I didnt attend school very good too. I would have 15 or more absent days in a month. And I hated Mathematics :/ . So what happens is,if you hate a particular subject,your brain automatically refuses to learn ,understand and indulge more information about it. I didnt know that at the time... As a matter of fact,I hated all my subjects LOL!! :v Alright,so 2012 came and I repeated standard 8. -_- People at school couldnt believe I was still in the same class,but eventually it started to be normal to everyone and most importantly to myself. :/ I wrote down my short term goals and my long term goals (thanks to Mss Matyatya for that :) ) My short term goals were to get four code 7s and and two code 6s and one 5. Id pray to God to guide me. My long term goal was to pass Grade 10. So I attended school and had lesser absent days,I loved all my subjects including Maths LOL. :v .By the grace of God, I passed with four code 7s,two code 6s :D ...and one code 4 (Life Science -_-) . At the end of the year I passed Grade 10!! >_< I glided through Grade 11 with flying colours and went straight to Grade 12!! 8-) I was adored by most of the teachers because I showed interest in each and every subject and did extremely good too!! :D At the end of the year I passed with a Bachelor and this year I went straight to the University of the Western Cape!! >_< Nothing has a straight path in life, there will always be obsicles that you must overcome to slowly but surely get to your destination :) ... Still the jurney continues even this year :/ ... But thats a story for another day ;) . So if you failed,IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. God knows why He chose this path for you,trust me :) And to those who passed,CONGRADULATIONS :D May the Grace of God be with you :) (y)
