I would feel upset for my failure in the test and it might last quite some time. I know that it is no good to me at all. Still I think that it is better to face the reality. I will try my best to think about what fits me and make another decision for my future. Even I fail in the National College Entrance Exam, I would still choose some other ways to go to college to fulfill my dream for a better life in the future. Roads to success are more than one. I am so sorry to know that your parents don't understand you to some extent. I think that you should tell them that you have tried your best to work hard at yout lessons at school. Not everyone can succeed in doing all that he is striving for. Failure is always allowed. You see, failure is the mother of success. No failure, no success. I hope that you will have a better and a more smooth future with your hard and clever work, my dear friend. Cheer up and stay happy, dear.

Hello well I can speak from the heart because I failed my degree in 1995 that was 12 years ago. I was devestated, my world crashed. In fact the bottom fell out of my world because the failure was too hard. I worked darn hard and yet I failed, I was gutted it took me years to recover from feeling like a failure and thinking that the world saw me as a failure. My world had ended and all my Mum could say was "don't worry, don't worry about it, it does not matter, you matter more than the results" But to me it mattered it really hurt because I had to carry on in a world where I felt totally alien. Tears, sadness and grief followed. My wonderful career was finished over, finito. I hated Psychology I wanted to burn every book in the house relating to Psychology. I ripped out reams of tapes of things to do with Psychology and I tore up papers and when I went near the place I thought I was going to die of a panic attack. I had one thing going for me, one absolutely important nugget in my life. Yes I had my Mum but she couldn't understand she had never been through that pain that I felt, not failure, not after working so hard. Yes she had suffered other pain, she had lost a brother to cancer that was hell for her, it was hell for me. but this... well this was my personal hell. I turned to God and I asked him to show me a way through this pain and he did, and I drew a pastel drawing of a tunnel and it was all grey and miserable and do you know. Whilst I was drawing this grey pastel world of tunnels, a shaft of sunlight appeared and it shone across the picture and I knew then that God was showing me a future, a path way. I hope that your pain will ease and that you can find your way through it hun, I really do Blessed be.
