Grade of 80

I know I really sucked at ortho... yup, really sucked.

This afternoon, our grades in Orthopedics were released by our C.I. I know, and I can feel a sense of dread at the pit of my stomach as our CI held a clean white sheet of paper with neat computerized markings on it. I know that this moment would ruin my my day... COMPLETELY.

Our quizzes holds the upper hand of the grading system. If you pass the quizzes, you'll likely pass the term. But since I flunked 2 quizzes... I already know what would eventually befall me...

Even if I got a satisfying high score at our Prelim exam, I got a 80.7 final grade. If this was me a year ago... I would have sunk down in depression. (I already accept my limitations now... related kaya yun sa self-awareness activity namin kay ma'am Judy, or I just feel very relaxed?)

Next week we would already start our Oncology class. Wish me luck. The truth is, I would like to be very, very, very INTERESTED with this subject, since CANCER took a lot from me...

Wish me luck.

I promise, I would like to do better.

My mom once said:

"If they (intelligent people) can do it for an hour, you must put in double effort in order to catch up with them... make it two hours"

Very well said mama. Someday, I would make you proud.
