The 3rd semester kicked off with shocks and surprises from the result of the previous semester final exam. Some of us ameliorated while some of us worsened. As for me, I am very grateful and happy with my result. Disappointed? Of course. Although my result is good, I actually performed worse than the previous semester - I fell.
I began to reminisce all the time that I've spent to revise all the subjects. Out of all of my marks, the lowest was the subject that I studied the most and I haven't scored 7 (the highest grade) for this subject...yet.
I'm a bit sad but I realize, there is 'hikmah' behind all of these. I do not have absolute knowledge of what is good or what is bad for me. But Allah does. He knows what is best for me, for us. We may have high hopes and astonishing dreams that we want to achieve but in the end, it all comes down to what Allah has decided for us.
When I didn't get the IB points that I wanted, I believe I have to try harder to score my desired grades. The reason why I fell this time was so that I would strive wholeheartedly next time around to gain what I wanted. After all, Allah knows what is best for us. We should accept the decrees which Allah has set with sincere hearts and believe they are all for the betterment of us. And there should never ever be a slightest doubt about that...
