The results came in like months later and I happened to pass and I did best on the essay question part. Mrs. Fuller was happy majority of her student passed the exam. Passing the exam made the school sure that I was ready to be on my own and that I do not have to take the Esl class anymore. I was so excited that I was better than I used to be as a writer, and to be done with taking the Esl
