It was the night before our long test in one of my subjects in Grade 4. My Father had talked to
me about tomorrow’s test and he even gave me tips and advised me to stay focused on every detail
of it. And since I had promised them to take my studies seriously, I know the fact that their
expectations are quite high. Day of the examination, I had a hard time answering most of the
questions on which I ended up failing the test. I had told them everything and since then I promised
myself not to let my parents down ever again.
