Good day to you all my tutors and learners here on Hive.
Many times we get to witness different life scenarios as they all get some sort of lesson to pass across. Just the same way it happens in movies we get to watch some movies that make us happy and some get us thrilled as to what would happen next.
Some bring about suspense and a lot of dramatic scenarios. There are some we watched and even got ourselves terrified of what would be the outcome of some scenes.
But life is quite different from movies and this is because you are experiencing this in reality. You are the one in question and now you have to find a solution to the ongoing scenario.
If I should remember the last time I got so terrified and scared of my life as to what would be my fate, what would be the outcome of my handwork. Those scary moments of my life. The last and worst one was what happened not long ago.
School life has always been one of a kind and the stress and struggles it brings along is something to write home about. Most times checking results has been the most terrifying moment for students regardless of the level. At some point when I had to check my results for my entrance exams into the higher institutions I got scared like my fate was already decided by some set of people and now I got my hands on them.
When the results come out cool then we forget about the past moments but when it turns out negative then it instills some additional burden on us. That's just the way it is.
My most terrifying moment was when I was in my final year at a higher institution. The funniest part of it is that both semesters would have tests and exams but we would not get to see any of them until we graduate. All we would see is our graduation status. It's either you are out or you remain.
We already knew about this right from our early days in school and this is why many will try not to have a carryover till the next session because that's just an automatic spillover.
We got to our finals and it was time to face reality. It wasn't as easy as we expected. Writing exams knowing you would get to see the results at the end of the session is way and far different from writing exams and not even knowing what you are being graded on. I sat for the first semester results with a lot of fear. But I tried to build confidence in myself that I could do better.
There were some tough courses that I didn't answer well, and I never expected a good outcome. So I already made up my mind that the course was a failure. A lot of us didn’t respond well to the exam. But you can't trust anyone. Every day I get this weird idea of not graduating because of that course I failed to answer well.
At some point, the second semester was even worse. My supervisor gave me a tough time with her courses and still threatened me with not graduating. I tried my best not to even have many carryover courses. But still, she wouldn’t let me go. She became our examination officer and then told me I already failed. And there is nothing she can do about it.
I prayed and prayed. Despite the terrific moments I am passing through. I had to create the belief that I would pass and I am going to graduate. God came through for me as all my results were okay apart from one course. I never knew what I did to make my supervisor happy. But she told me she already helped me with the course so I could Graduate. I don't know if that was true or not. But at the end of it all. I saw my name on the graduating list and finally became a graduate.
This is my response to the prompt for week 80 edition 2 on the hive learners community and the topic to be discussed is TERRIFYING TALE.
