Bismillahirrahmannirrahim, Assalamualaikum
So I was in a place just now and a memory came by. It was a day before SPM Addmath 2017 and there's an extra class in school. It's an open extra class so whoever wanted to come, they can.
Mrs C and I were sitting on a desk, taught me how to solve a question that I asked her. A teacher came by - I call her Mrs A. Of course, she wanted to met Mrs C. Before she left, she asked/told Mrs C something but I couldn't remember and for sure I remembered Mrs C replied her, "Yes she is. She's one of my daughter. I know she can do it. She can and will." Not gonna lie that's really makes me shut everything down. Focusing on her words. Replaying the sentence over and over again. Her voices running in my head. I was actually going to cry.
I looked at both of them - smiling. I didn't know what to do because I'm still in awe. Mrs A said, "Yes I'm pretty sure you'll do good and oh here it is. Good luck." While inserted her hand in her handbag, came out with a black pen and gave it to me. I was in shocked. And yes I still keep the pen - one of my favorite pen. Again, I almost cried but hold it on. Trust me, I'm not that kind of person who'll cry in public. Not once.
I said thank you. She smiled and left. Going back home, Mrs C's words were still on replay. You know that feeling when someone trusted and believe in you when you can't and you don't? I felt that. I lose hope. I was unmotivated. I was anxious. She trusted me even when I almost failed my addmath on my Trial SPM. Minus 2 marks and yes I failed. But Alhamdulillah I didn't. And because of that, I started to trust and believe in myself. I pray a lot to Him to ease everything.
3 months later, it was the day. I look at my own result. The second thing I focused on was my addmath. Alhamdulillah all praises to Him. It was my first time crying in public. I couldn't handle the tears and it bursted out like a waterfall. I cried a lot. My eyes and nose turned red. I swear it was the happiest moment in my life if I could bookmark.
All thanks to Him, Mrs C and Mrs A who trusted me, my parents, best friends and also thank you dear self for burning the midnight oil to get an unexpected result. You did great, congratulations. Alhamdulillah.
From what I've learnt, it was crucial to trust yourself. Trust even when you feel like you'll not make it and pray a lot. Insha Allah, if it's your rezk, He'll give it to you. Don't lose hope because I trust you. I hope my story inspired you. Thank you for reading and please ignore my grammar, sorry.
