Hey people on earth! I am Grace Ann and you can call me 
My first semester midterm examination was one of the most challenging yet meaningful experiences I have faced as a Grade 12 student. Since our regular classes usually start at two in the afternoon, I was used to waking up late in the morning. But during exam week, the schedule was set early, and that became my first struggle. Adjusting my body clock was difficult, and I felt tired and sleepy on the first day of exams. Aside from that, we were not given pointers to review, so I had to study all the topics from the beginning of the semester. It felt overwhelming, but I kept reminding myself that I should not give up because God would be there to guide me.
To prepare myself not just mentally but also spiritually, I went to our church before heading to school. Since it was near our house, I took the time to pray and ask God for wisdom, focus, and peace. I admitted in my prayer that my knowledge was not enough, but I trusted that His guidance would help me. I asked Him to let me pass the examinations and to give me a good grade. Inside the church, I felt peace in my heart, and I knew that whatever the outcome would be, He was with me.
During the examination, I felt nervous at first, but I started with a silent prayer. Whenever I came across a question that was difficult, I paused and asked God to guide me in remembering what I had studied. Slowly, I began to recall answers and felt calmer as I went on. I realized that worrying only made things harder, while trusting God gave me clarity and confidence. With faith in Him, I was able to finish the exams with a lighter heart.
After the exams, I felt relieved and thankful. Even though I did not know the results yet, I already felt victorious because I knew I had done my best and prayed sincerely. I remembered the verse Jeremiah 33:3, which says, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” That reminded me that no matter where I am, inside the church or in the classroom, God is always near to those who call on Him.
Through this experience, I learned that exams are not just tests of knowledge but also tests of faith and character. I realized the importance of studying consistently, managing time, and trusting God completely. My midterm examination taught me that I should not only prepare my mind but also my heart. As long as I keep my faith in Him, I believe that I can overcome whatever challenges come my way as a student.
