Dear Sister D,
You’re definitely right in saying that it’s hard; it’s not only taking exams that is difficult, but it’s the run-up to them and the amount of preparation that you need to put in that can be really stressful! All that anxiety can really take a toll on you, so props to you for still having the motivation to take the exams!
But remember: it’s not the worrying, the anxiety, the stressing, or the fear that will get you anywhere. These all are signs that you do indeed really care about the exams, signs that you really do want to do well in them! So use that motivation, extract it from all those negative feelings and let it power you through! After all, it isn’t ever going to be the negativity that will let you achieve anything. It’s the fact that you want to achieve the greatest you can that is getting you through any challenges that face you.
Don’t let the seemingly great impossibility of challenges that are in your way intimidate you. More often than not, it’s your mind that makes things seem much more demanding than they actually are. Don’t just think that you can do it - believe that you can do it! Although it doesn’t seem like it to you, you are capable of achieving many more things than you give yourself credit for! Don’t let exam pressure get the better of you, and certainly don’t let it make you see yourself as less than you are! Good luck - I pray that The Almighty guides you and grants what is best for you, and I pray that He rewards you abundantly for your hard work.
Yours sincerely,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis
