Hey! 'You get what you give' is something I really live by.Not to brag, but I've always naturally been a high achiever and as such, this has made me very ambitious- I strive high and I'm not afraid. I decided that since the new grade 9 had been introduced, and I had the potential to do so, I would work hard to get as many grade 9s as possible. Everyday, I did some work- some days I did plenty, other days, not so much. I was always 'that kid', the 'bangout' and whatever, but I wasn't 'nerdy' if that makes sense. I revised so thoroughly that when exams came round, I could just relax and go into and out of exams without having to cram. I came out with all 9s and honestly, you really do get what you put in.I understand the fear of messing up that one exam, but just think- if you prepare yourself really well and work hard as you have been (without stressing yourself out too much), there is really nothing that can stop you. Certain exams and questions may be harder, but there will always be a way you can answer it with the information you have learned.
In terms of friends- honestly, f**k their drama- its only petty and a waste of time, try not to get involved if possible.
