It's just a test

That week my head was hurting, I couldn't even eat at all because of that test.

I was anxious all the time. I felt like I couldn't even function without having the thought of the test creeping in the back of my mind. Like I was a person in a haunted house just ready to be scared again. I knew it was just a test. I have written thousands of tests but this test just tortured me. When the thought of the test came back in my mind, I felt as if I was paralyzed and unable to move.

Every time I walked out of that class a hurricane of emotions overtook me. All of my emotions stirred up inside me like a volcano ready to explode until I couldn't take it anymore and burst out into a cry. The feelings of being clueless and overwhelmed attacked my brain, I couldn't do anything to make the test leave my head. My emotions overtook my brain till I just shut down.

It's like do or die but instead of die, live with the level 1 hanging over your head like a storm cloud that will just never go away. It's not just a test. It's all the pressure on you like you can score the game-winning goal or just disappoint the crowd. The feeling of disappointment just squirms in my head and eventually overtakes my whole body.

The worst part about this was that the next time a test comes, I will be in the same agony

    So he decided to call the students one by one but of course he was basing himself on the roster that he had. Indeed my turned came, and he told me that sadly I didn’t pass, and that he was sad because, he knew that I was a good student that he doesn’t know what happened to me. So yes the next semester came around, and it’s like this if you don’t pass it they right away give you a retaining class which that pretty much means that you didn’t pass the test, and in the other hand you’re going to waste another half semester in a retaining class instead of you taking another, class that it could be really useful, or one that you just simply need. Well long story short I finally walked in, and I actually got a pretty nice teacher that he could actually controlled the classes that he had. Well indeed, finally the day of the exam came over, and I simply told myself that I could do it that I simply just had to read it carefully, and just simply had to take my time, and this time I was going to pass because, I had a really good teacher, and…
