Guess Who Made It Through?

Guess who passed his three courses!!

Well, that's me. To start with, I want to say a big thank you for your support since the day I began this exam. I have been writing recently about how the exam was going and how I felt about the whole thing concerning the exam.

Yesterday, the result was released by the HOD, and I checked; I passed the three courses. To be frank, I was really afraid when it was announced in the class group by our class rep that the results were almost ready. My heart started racing again as if something was wrong with my system. I didn't know what to do to calm myself down at that moment, so I decided to watch movies.

I spent some time watching movies even though my mind was not fully there. Next was to head to Facebook to watch reels to see if I could get relief from my worries, but still, help didn’t come. I decided to take a nap, but my mind was busy calculating all my possible scores, checking whether I’d pass or not. I know I did very well in the exam, but I still wasn't sure if I had done enough to secure a pass.

But after some time, battling with my uncertainties, I decided to go check the class group again. This time around, the message I got was that the results were loading. Again, my heart started jumping… lol. I had to practice deep breathing to calm myself down. What I also did was turn off my phone notifications so I wouldn’t receive any messages from WhatsApp concerning the results.

With hope, I was getting ready to know the outcome of the results because I knew I tried my best during the exam. So somehow, I was nervous to know my scores. But due to fear and uncertainty, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see the result either.

After some minutes, the class rep tricked us that the results wouldn't be ready again as the dean was not around to sign. I was a little bit annoyed, but at the same time, kind of relaxed. My heart felt normal again, and I was like, “Okay, that’s better. At least I won’t have much to worry about again.” I decided to continue with my movie.

As I was watching, I saw messages coming in from WhatsApp. I decided to carefully check if they weren't pictures from my class group. But lo and behold, it was the result from the class rep. Boom! I didn't know how I was able to summon the courage to look at the results. When I checked my name, alas, I saw passes for the three courses. WOW. I was very pleased with myself. I checked again to confirm what I saw initially, and still, nothing changed.

Then, I ran out of my room to inform my parents about the results. They were glad I did very well. After some minutes, I started getting congratulatory messages and calls from my friends who knew about the exam. I was indeed so happy yesterday. God came through for me, I must say!

So guys, I am now in my final year as a student of Physiotherapy at the University of Nigeria. It has not been an easy journey, and I still have one more exam to take before I graduate. But I am happy for this small win.

Thank you, friends, for your prayers. I really appreciate it a lot!!
