Don't let a bad exam bring you down - you've got this!

When I was at school I was fixed on every exam result, every mark, every question was in my mind. So when I got a bad mark it crushed me, I attached that mark to how I was doing as a person and just generally in life. This was the biggest mistake I ever made. I started feeling so down about myself, in constant fear that the next test would be worse or that I wasn’t good enough. I couldn’t be more wrong and if anyone reading this believes this too. Don’t! You are amazing and so clever, trust yourself and trust your teachers to get you where you want to be. Talking of your teachers they are here to help you go ask them if you need help, that’s there job they take joy out of feeling needed so they want to help you.

Another area of my life that effected my studying was my confidence. I really didn’t believe in myself and it showed. So as a confidence boost I wanna say. You are amazing, you can do this, everyone has their own reason to be here even if you don’t know it. Never, and I mean never, listen to anyone else’s words if they will hurt you, it’s not worth it.
