The word "exam’ in itself drives chilling senses down my spine. A paper determines what the light at the end of the tunnel may offer. As this past semester was my first session of University exams, I can only send a warning to others that are next in line.
DO NOT believe the myth that after A-levels the tough part is over because well, it is just the beginning.
Yes, you are studying for your future and for a subject that you will possibly have to dedicate your whole career to – yet, even if you love the subject, exams may tend to deviate you from your passion and opinions.
Sometimes the feeling of examinations creates a repetitive cycle were one exam leads to the next. Just like a domino effect creating a monotonous vibe distracting you from the light, which you are initially motivated to reach.
We are not taught on how to keep motivated and ahold of ourselves. Nowadays, movies, TV-series, books and other influencing means hold the key to motivation for many students.
Everything has a beginning and an ending. Hopefully, everyone will have the opportunity to meet that ending which he or she has been awaiting for more than 25 years of his or her life.
We exist in a world where without education, it is difficult for a person to have a bright future. There are many exceptions to the above statement but that is how companies and certain employers make you feel.
A job is not easy to get ahold of. It is a completely different dynamic of competition. Ironically sometimes it does not even matter whether you are an A+ student or a D+ student because you may all fall in the same category.
An exam can get you as far as you want to with regard to the scale of work and wage, since it declares what level you graduate in. Exams will take you as far as a certificate; the real exam is the real world.
The people you meet at work, whether it is your co-worker, a client or even your boss, are the people that will test you. Those are the people that will be tougher than exams and expecting so much more.
