Gospel. July 23-30

1. It is our 2^nd exam at ComPro1. I know our 2^nd exam will be much harder than the 1^st one. Even though I don’t understand half of our lectures, I still tried to study just for this exam. I have only one goal; to pass this test and the subject as well. I did not review the whole week except hours before the exam. I will try to pass and pursue a higher grade.

Minutes before the examination, I felt a slight feeling of enlightenment. It is as if something cleared away all my worries and left me with a calm mind that caused me to have an extra focus during the exam. I read the bible that very moment. I read verses that are for stressed people. I read it seriously and understand its every word.

After the examinations, I sighed and smile. I know the test was really hard, but I did my best. I hoped that the results will be good.

2. After few days of waiting, the exam results were released. Compared to our first exam, the 2^nd one is much harder. Only 5 out of 25 students in our class passed the exam. I got nervous, but I know that I can pass. As the names of the passer’s were called, my nervousness grew, for I know that I am not one of the studious ones. Even though I am losing hope, my faith kept tight inside me. The 2^nd highest in our class was Babao. My faith was nearly shattered when I heard this. I know that my classmate Enriquez will always be the on the top list of our class. The first in our class in the examinations were the last to be called on all top 5. I felt hot and nervous. Will I pass? Will my faith in god result on something good? Is it possible that I have the highest score in the exam today?

After that, I heard my name being called by our professor. Yes, I became the 1^st in our class and 2^nd overall in the examination. Thanks to my faith, God, and determination.
