Just when I thought school is finally over for me, I received a phone call on Monday morning saying that I have failed one of my assignments. FAILED?! I’ve received low grades but I can’t remember the last time I failed in any academic course! My ego overwhelmed me and manifested itself into anger, rage, fear, impatience,…
I skimmed through other submissions, and in comparison, my assignment was admittedly below par. Anger and fear slowly subsided as I immediately pulled myself together to completely re-do the assignment.
Worked past 3am in the last two days and the assignment was finally completed and re-submitted tonight. RELIEF!! May this finally be the last of my academic days.
I’m thankful for being given the opportunity to re-submit my assignment. I’ve learned my lesson to stay humble always and not let my ego take a foothold inside me – the emotions of rage and fear are really less than pleasant.
