The English results were finally released today. There were indeed signs of resignation and disappointment for those whose hopes were dashed on achieving a better grade.
As a consolation, I would like to add that if you had done your best and yet you did not perform well, there is nothing to be sad about.
I hope that this feeling of temporary sadness will spur you to perform better for the last test of the year which is the impending SA2. Given the right motivation, resolve and hard work I believe those of you who wish to perform better will. Remember, you reap what you sow and there's no short cut to success.
Remember that 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down. Today we may grieve for our losses. But tomorrow, we'll be prepared and be ready to make a comeback.
Still, it was also disappointing to see some pupils who had not fared well actually rejoicing and did not show any signs of remorse whatsoever. You know who you are. Remember, at the end of the day, only YOU can help yourself and you are ultimately answerable to your own future.
May each and everyone of you achieve the grades you hope for.
