No doubt I was very disappointed when I first saw my subject combination. As the saying goes : 'You reap what you sow' so in a weird and painful way I deserve it. I was already prepared for 8 subjects. Well at least Shawn got 7 subjects too so we may be in the same class next year. Oh and I did appeal ( so did Shawn ) and obviously it was unsucessful. I feel that I let down everybody especially my father. He had high hopes for me ( As high as 9 subjects ) and I had to let him down. When he knew about the appeal result, he did not scold me or anything. He actually cheered me up and told me that it was "okay'. I know deep down in his heart he is seriously disappointed with me. Well at that moment I told myself I had to work hard the next year and make my father proud. Every single year...it happens. Bah..
