I have been trying so hard to get into South Park school. This school required the best of the best, but I was somewhat affiliated with the school because my dad taught there. It was time to take the test to get in and I knew I was doomed because after looking at the 1st question, I thought to myself, “how am I supposed to figure this out?” My self confidence immediately lowered but after telling myself, “I can do this, I got this” for about 5 minutes I felt much better and continued with the test.
About 1 hour after the test, the school administration started calling names for those who passed. Since my last name is Johnson, I had awhile to go until I can possibly hear my name. When they started to get to the I’s, my anticipation was so high and I was sweating too much. Here we go. “Jackson, James, Justin.” My heart skipped a beat and my rancor grew strong for those people.
I wanted to cry. I walked out of the room as quickly as possible when I heard an adult say, “Could Emily Johnson please come see me?” Oh great. What did I do. It turns out that I actually got a 100% and they wanted to congratulate me. It is crazy how in 5 minutes, I had a range of tears of sadness to tears of joy. It is amazing how if you just tell yourself, “You can do it,” during a test you will do so much better. I will do this again in the future.
