My examination results shocked me into silence. I was forced to think about the future. It fueled me with the willpower to stand up again.

However, one question remains in my mind. Can I do this? What if, because of my one mistake, my future is ruined forever? What if I can't get into RGS? What if I don't do well enough for the PSLE and RGS rejects my DSA application? What then? Will that mean the end of my dreams of Ivy League colleges and NYC?

I have to do this. I have to.

or it's over.
