I've failed my exams for the FIRST time in my whole life! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student10 months ago

The results of my final examinations in university was released in the morning today. I was nervous as I went to uni to check my results. When I logged on to the computer and checked my results, for the first time in my life a feeling of chill and disappointment filled me. History is made as I failed in one paper for the first time in my life. Even the other two papers that I sat for were far from the result I had expected, but fortunately I still passed both of the other papers. I told my parents about it and they seem to be quite disappointed in me even though they tried to console me throughout our conversation. What am I to do now to cope with this disappointment? I feel like a total failure....=(

Oh I am sorry to hear that, I know it is very disappointing, I was always used to that as I was not clever at school but I have always felt exams are not everything as I have learnt through my life, you are being tested on facts and figures and you when you leave most of those facts and figures you will never use and they won't help you at all, what they should really be teaching is common sense and positivity, anyway just remember you will still do well in life... I am sure of that.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Thanks for your response and also for the encouragement....still, I feel that I've let my parents down and I find it hard to forgive myself of that....anyway, I think I qualify for the supplementary paper, and boy, I "guarantee" I'll pass that!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilaclady (15340)   ranked 547 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

I have faith in you, you will pass but also I bet the things you failed on will be probably the things you will learn from... I think we all learn from out mistakes more than other things anyway... goodluck my friend....


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Yeah, I'm sure I'll learn a lot more since I'll be studying the whole semester's lectures all over again....thanks for your constant encouragement by the way!=)


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilaclady (15340)   ranked 547 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Good luck I think you will do well.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

I hope I will....thanks again for all the advice and encouragement! Appreciate it lots!=)

Hi,there! Sorry to hear that you failed your exam.I could understand your feeling right now.I just wanna say one exam doesn't mean everything.What's more,the result was just the history.Don't think about it too much now.Maybe you can take the exam for the second time and before the exam,try your best to review the course.I think if you do your best,you'll make it finally.It doesn't help to regret now.All you can do is to make your efforts for the second time exam:) Best wishes and good luck! Take it easy and have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Thanks for your response...I will try my best in the supplementary exam, that's for sure!=)

myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Thanks for your response. It's easy to say take it easy, but when I think of the money that my parents have to waste just for me to complete uni studies, I feel that I could have somehow studied harder and passed.....


myLot reputation of 93/100. zlesing (195)   ranked 2,418 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

yeah, you're right. I have the same thought with you, gerald_lian. It's not a small count of money...


libra1987 (10)  10 months ago

so i think u must have learned something from this failure and try ur best next time,dot give urself reason to feel down,u ought turn this bad feeling into the energy of moving forward,i belive u can do it!u should see the bright future,give urself more confident resolve urself!best wishes for u


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Yes, I've learned not to be too overconfident and be humble, because I've never failed before this and I always thought that no matter how bad I've done, I'll always pass. God certainly has put me in a position where He wants me to learn, and I have to admit I have. I hope I'll pass in the supplementary though....


libra1987 (10)  10 months ago

so dot let god down,hehe,god bless u,fighting!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Yes, I will fight the battle till I emerge victorious!=P


libra1987 (10)  10 months ago

so happy to hear that,good luck!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand your feeling.
I'm an university student,too. And my final exams is coming. I always take it too serviously, then making myself feel very anxious during that period. Sometimes it make me faile in falling asleep...lol...I'm afraid of the failure in the exam...That would make everything worse...Hope I can pass all the exams.

Anyway, everything will be OK. Just never give up.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

As long as you've put enough effort in studying, I'm sure you'll pass. I think my problem is I think I know a lot, but actually I don't....which probably led me to fail in my exams....I guess the lesson to me is to use my time wisely to study instead of wasting time to do other useless things....

 
6. myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (9670)   ranked 618 out of 3,687 in student   10 months ago

I am so sorry to hear that. I was a student before, so I can understand this feeling is very terrible. But please don't give up. You can get better scores next time. It is hard to avoid the failure, sometimes.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

That's true. In fact, I think failure actually teaches an individual more and we can learn more from failures. It is also a lesson of how to pick up ourselves after a "blow" like this. Thanks for the encouragement, I will not give up, that's for sure! I'll give my all for the supplementary!=)

 
7. myLot reputation of 78/100. mengchuijie (312)   10 months ago

Dear, as a student i can totally understand your feelings. but the old saying indicates, whatever happens, it happens for a reason. just think of it, did you have a best try? if you tried your best, just relaxed and check into what made your failure.
as we students, it is hard for us to fail in one or two examinations out of our student life. Tommorrow is anther day.i can figur out you are a girl with siginficant responsibility. just face it!
i failed many times in my elementary school,senior high schoo and even my college period, but i am confident in my future, now i am a MBA student after four years' work.
Relaxed,everything will be ok next day!
don't be upset again or your parents will more concerned about you. if you are a really strong girl, you can make it! Go for it!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Thanks for the response and encouragement! I should really start to learn how to relax and pick up myself from situations like these.....by the way, I am a boy not a girl!=P

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have a feeling that I didn't do well on my exams either. Don't worry things will get better!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Don't feel too bad...as long as the results are not out, there is still a possibility that you'll pass. For me, the results are out, and I have no choice but to accept failure for the first time....=(

 
9. myLot reputation of 69/100. theprogamer (7378)   ranked 484 out of 3,687 in student   10 months ago

You'll get over this in due time Gerald. Plus you have the materials so you can find out what you did wrong, learn, and then do it properly the next time. Its a growing experience.

But I must admit, failure doesn't sit well with me either. Probably because so much is put on succeeding, its virtually everywhere.

Just relax and don't strain too much over it, it'll help nothing. You have to focus on learning from this and improving for next time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Yeah, you're right. In this dog eat dog world, I think many would hate to experience failure and defeat. But I really feel that it is failures that will actually teach us more than what we get passively....I hope I don't strain myself because I still haven't got over the feeling of disappointment, in a sense....

 
10. myLot reputation of 88/100. dbmax41 (310)   10 months ago

You know what you have to do now. It can be a lesson in itself. Pick your feet up and this time apply yourself more. Life wont end here. Infact it might help you. Your records are permanent. If you make a come back your future employers will see you dont give up. I hired a man like that and he was a great employee.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gerald_lian (738)   ranked 28 out of 3,687 in student  10 months ago

Actually, my results were pretty OK since first year in uni and I have been aiming to do an honours project, but this blow has wiped away all chances of me doing this project now....and the thing is I really want to do this project....I'm really frustrated and confused now!=(

We cant change the past but the future is all yours. Do your best and the little things fall into place.
