I failed a test.I felt terrible.It hurt me both inside and out.I was
embarrassed.Just think about it.A smart girl did not pass the test!
I cried.I could not sleep."I was supposed to be at the top!how will
I face my friends at school?"I thought.I wouldnever be happy again.
Never!
My mom found out about my problem.She said,"So,you failed a test.But
do you know about another test that is even more important?"
"What is it?"I looked at my mother,puzzled.
"It is whether or not you can learn from your mistake,"my mom
continued."Learning from your mistakes will make you
strong.To me,that is more important than what you scored on a test."
What my mom said really made me think.
After a few days of struggling,I finally understood what my mom had
said.She was right.I should not pity myselfbecause of this one bad test.
I will walk away from this a better person.
