Don’t lose heart

　　    Several days ago, we had a monthly exam, 9 subjects included. When the exam for a subject ended, we checked the answers with each other and I found some of my answers were not the same as my classmates’. Since I don’t do well in my subjects in our class, I thought they were always right and there was no doubt that I was wrong.

　　    What was worse, the maths questions were so difficult for me that I even hadn’t finished the paper. As a result, there were at least 35 points already lost, and so was the physics exam. I wasn’t good at physics all the time, so I made many mistakes.

　　    What a terrible fact! Watching the satisfied expressions on my classmates’ faces, I felt extremely down. I leaned on the desk quietly. I wanted to cry but it seemed that there were not any tears. I could feel my dream, which was once around the corner, was going further away from me. I was so depressed that I almost gave up my dream.

　　 However, I could do nothing but go on with the other exams. So I shouldn’t give up. I decided to entertain myself with some music so that I could be calm and confident in the other exams.

　　    Thank goodness! The music did work! I became calm and cool-minded. And I just did normally and even much better than before. I got good marks in the other subjects. From my exams, I learnt to be confident.

　　    We must firstly have confidence in whatever we want to do, and then we should have hopes of achieving success. Confidence is the first step to success. And we must stick to our views, practice them and never give up. Then, success is just right there waiting for us.
