How will you explain to your parents that you failed from a prestigious college admission examination ?

Question

I have taken an exam just this Aug 3 and I found it easy. Actually, it's UPCAT admission test of UP. But I felt nervous for the system is one-fourth of your mistakes will be subtracted from your correct answers. What if I don't pass? What will I do. They have a high expectation for me. I don't want to dissapoint them. We also paid P450 for that and I am starting to save money so that I can give back that money if ever I don't pass. Please help me and pray for me. Thanks.

Answer 2

Matthew it's sad that you are living in fear because your parents are worried about pestige. Your reputation and esteem is riding on a test? How sad is that? I would like to talk to your parents and tell them that they are not being fair with all the pressures they have put on you. Life is too short to worry about passing an exam that will get you into the best college just because your parents and THEIR reputation and esteem. What is that all about? Is it so they can brag about where you are going to school? Look better to their superficial friends?  I personally have grow into not worrying about what other people think about me. It's just not worth my time. You did your best and that is all you can do. Who are you paying back if you not pass? Your parents? If it is you parents I would tell them you did your best and it's NOT about the MONEY of God's sake!!! I will pray for you. I would like you to know that life is not all about prestige and money it's about unconditional love and understanding. I hope your parents can learn that lesson soon. Chin up kiddo!! You are doing great.
