Take Two

Take Two

Tomorrow, 19 April, will be a week since I had my exams. I called it "second board exam".  Back where I came from after studying 4 years in university, you can not practice your profession if you cannot pass your board exam, it doesn't matter if you got the highest mark in school for it will all boil down to whether you passed your board or not.

The pressure was tantamount to your future. It will give you your license, your badge, your  title. It will be the golden gate to your profession. Your path to your career. In a place where 70000 others are vying to pass it the odds are against you. Only a  fellow examinee understands. Only them knows. The effort, the tears, the fear. The wait.

Hence, when I had to venture into something new and do one all over again. The old familiar feeling came crushing down again. Only this time the stakes are higher.

 My element.

In times like this the worst part is the wait. I dont think this time I can just pack my bag and go away. Come back when its over, like last time. Now, I guess I have to tough it up.

Let it go.
