6 points + DSA. Happy? Nope. My close buddy didn't make the mark...neither did some of my closer friends... Education is just as important as the environment that we're studying in.
Are results really that important? All right, I'll admit the society judges ppl based on their qualifications aka pieces of papers. But honestly, what happened to being street-smart and other non-academic aspects in life? Good interviews far outweigh qualifications. My friend's mum immediately turned a very "valuable" candidate down, because he was dragging his feet into the room which he was to be interviewed.
I find it so hard to cheer ppl hard. Maybe it's because of my results... Does my results really take away my role as a friend? Just because I am a 6-pointer, I cannot understand how it feels to screw up? I'm not a charmed one. I'm not a superhuman. I'm just a fallible person, who has made mistakes, met setbacks, and crossed paths with disappointment...
Anyway, to my friends who were upset with each of your results, brace yourselves up for the various obstacles in future. This is not even the halfway mark. Cheer up. And sorry if I've offended anyone with my words...
To those who have done well, congrats. This is only a stepping stone, nothing more.
I wished I could share my achievements with you all...
