PMR Results

Assalamualaikum.

Hello.

On December 19 2012, which make that a few days ago, the PMR results came out. I can never tell you how nervous I was the day before I got the results. I couldnt stop thinking, worrying, scared, frightening about the day. I thought about a lot of things. "What if I don't get the straight A's?" "My parents would be very devastated" "Teachers would be so surprised, and worse, disappointed of me" "People around me will be talking behind my back like OH MY GOD, Farah didn't get straight A's for her PMR?! OH MY GOD!! What a shame she's brought to her family!" 

All the thoughts kept on running jumping squirreling in my mind like a big tornado! And at the moment, I realized I COULDN'T CALM MYSELF. AT ALL.

Another story is about my friend. You know, we have our own Whatsapp Group since August. And there are 5 people in the group. A week before the PMR results were announced, one of my friend left the group without telling us why. She just left. Without any response to all of our questions. She just disappeared. Just like that. At first, I was kind of annoyed by her antics of ignoring us and not replying any of our messages. At one point, I had enough!!! I stopped talking to her. I thought if she wanna talk, she'll talk. A few torturing days later, she came back. We were thrilled, to be honest! She explained to us why did she leave. She was having some kind of panic attack about the results. She scared that she might be the only one who would not get the straight A's. We were really mad at first, because we thought that she's not the only one having the panic attack, we were too! But we didn't leave!!! However, we let the thing slide away and never mention about it anymore.

So, the day had come! The results day!! The results came out at 10.30 in the morning. That morning, I tried so hard to calm myself. It was not really working. I recited a lot of prayers because I was soo soo sooo scared. I could really feel the blood in my body became hot and almost exploded. My mum accompanied me to school. As soon as I arrived at school, I went to my class's table and saw my beautiful class teacher, Puan Nur Aziah. She's holding the result slips. GASP! Tears running!! Nose getting wet!! Hands getting cold!! Okay calm down calm down! Suddenly, my teacher said,

 "Farah, congratulations, straight A's for you!"

I couldn't help it! I couldn't help it! I burst into some kind of baby cry and saw my friends Ilham, Marsya and Fara. I saw my mum crying tooo. I saw her tears running down her cheeks. It's so beautiful. I shook my teacher's hands and thanked her. A LOT. Then I give my mum the tightest hug that I could give to her. 

Alhamdulillah! I was soo soo soo glad that my friends and I got straight A's for our PMR exam! All of my classmates got straight A's except for one student. He got 7A's 1B. It's okay, we've tried our best. Alhamdulilah. 

On the way back home, I thought about all the efforts my friends and I gave for the exam. All the tuition classes, quiz in Whatsapp, extra study group after school, all of them! And now they are all paid off! Alhamdulillah.

Thank you Allah. Thank you ma abah. Thank you teachers. Thank you friends. Thank you everyone.
