5) DISAPPOINTMENT

It all happened when i was in Primary Six......

It was a Friday morning and I woke up later than usual although it was a school day as i had to go for my piano examination. I ate my breakfast and prepared for it with a heavy heart. Frightful thoughts raced through my mind as I wondered how would i embarrass myself during the examination.

Although my parents reassured me that nothing would go wrong during the examination and I was able to pass it, I could not believe myself.

During the examination, everything went on very smoothly and I felt good. After I went out of the examination room, I heaved a huge sigh of relief and thought that I would definitely do well for the examination. Therefore, I did not think much about this matter until the day when i received my results.

When i opened my letterbox, I was full of confidence that I would pass the examination. However, when i pulled our that little slip of paper, m heart sank deeply. It was pure disappointment. I actually failed that examination that I thought I would manage to do well for! Months of anticipation and hopes of passing th examination were destroed at that very moment.

Tears began to flow down my cheeks uncontrollably as I ran up the stairs and to my house and then my room. I banged the room door and locked myself up in that little space of my own. Nothing could describe the mixed and bitter feelings that aroused me at that moment.

But I knew that It was only myself to be blamed.
