“You may begin.”
Three little words that can crush your soul.My friend, R had just begun writing her Psychology 101 exam. It was supposed to be an easy course. No one in the history of the University (or the Universe) had ever failed Psych 101. In fact, it had been said that no one in North America had ever gotten anything lower than a B in Psych 101. But change was coming to America… R was sweating buckets full.
You have all been in that type of exam before. The one where you walk in, say your prayers, flip open the exam booklet and read the questions, then the first thing you do is confirm the date- Not April 1st… Hia! The next thing you do is verify the course code, course name, exam time and exam location… Just to make sure you are in the right place at the right time for the right thing. You just can not believe what is happening. You take your contacts out, rinse them, put them back in and re-read the questions. You have never seen or heard of most of the words in your life. You start praying in Yoruba even though you can’t speak it… Please don’t act like you can’t relate. I have been there, you have been there and my friend, R was there on this particular day.
