Even though I was so disappointed with the results and felt like my future was going to be a really terrible one, I am surprisingly calm. I know that these results are of my hard work, of the late nights till 3am, of the zits and stress. Above all, I know that this does not determine my self worth. It does not define who I am as an individual.
For those out there who question your next course of action, or are disappointed with yourself, remember that you've given your all. Also, the results you've gotten is not like a death sentence stating if you're going to fail or succeed. Failure only comes after you give up. Don't let your own thinking cripple you and take away your ability to go forward. Even when you go into your work place next time, the way you portray yourself and your networking skills are going to be more sought after than your O level grades. I know this is cliche, but when you fall, get back up, with more determination and drive. In the future, there will be plenty of setbacks, some even more saddening than this, and any workplace would want a team leader that can get back up with a positive attitude, instead of moping over something.
The school you are going to go to next does not determine your future, God does. Remind yourself that this is not an obstacle for God, as He already has His plans mapped out for you, and a piece of paper stating your L1R5/ L1B4 will not change where He wants you 10 or 20 years down the road. You might start to question God; "Why would this happen to me?" "Why would you make this happen?" But remember that everything happens for a reason. Wherever God places you next, is where He will plan great things for you, where He will use you to bless others.
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." -Proverbs 19:31
Whatever plans you have, God has already planned better ones for you. Go with confidence in the LORD, for He never fails. (:
Be strong and take heart!
