board exmas and its terror...

Its that time of the year when students eagerly wait for their tenth or twelth grade exam results .My brother has written his entrance exams now and is waiting for his results too…and I think back of the times when I was waiting for my Tenth results…the moment is still as fresh as it happened yesterday…
I was a bright student and one of the top rankers in my class, but unlike most of the other toppers I was not as hard working…and so my mom always told me to work harder as people have high expectations..she told me that I should score more than 90% in my board exams (90 % then was a very high score and mostly impossible to get) , and I was sure I will never get it….hehe
The day the results were coming, we had chemistry first year quarterly exams, and although nothing about the results could go tht wrong, I was dead nervous…it was like my pen wouldn’t just tilt on the paper….and so I could say tht even if the results came good or bad, I was sure to fail in the exam I was then writing…hehe
And then somebody said tht the results were put on …and I still remember that I just wanted to fly away or just disappear from there…. I told the teacher tht I finshed writing and need to go out .. but she said I have to wait until the bell is given… and I swear I was so angry tht I thought I would hit her.. and then finally the bell rang and I ran out of the class… just realizing moments later tht my heart was pounding out of my chest and tht my feet were so numb to walk further..i finally made it to the noticeboard where the results were put out… and my little sister also found her way out near me and started to search the notice board for my marks… and since I was so confident tht I wouldn’t top , I started my way up the list from the last name ….and my nervousness took full control that I just couldn’t find my name in the list..lol… I thought I had failed…and my sister shouted saying that im the third highest scorer in my batch…. I couldn’t believe what I heard.. and couldn’t believe what I saw after that …my percentage was 91.4%...and I had achieved what I never thought was possible..
And then my best friend chai also came though and saw tht she had also performed really well… and what we did after that was quite embarrassing to think of now … but for us, at tht moment, I didn’t think anything a t all mattered…. We hugged each other so tight and started shouting and dancing at the centre of the school ground…. We knew there were lots of strange looks …. But who cared….we were on top of the world and that’s all what mattered… I had made my parents proud and for me
I had achieved the IMPOSSIBLE…..
