Examination aftermath

Dear reader,

I soon have to do the unglamourous task of announcing my class results. They performed really badly in terms of grades. What will I highlight?

1) Effort. How much effort did they put in? Did they only spend an hour a day studying?

2) Time. When did they start? Did they only start the week before? Or months before?

3) Focus. Did they fully spent the hours studying? Or was the time littered with distractions?

4) Quality. Did they only read through the notes? Or did they also go through their previous mistakes and attempt more worksheets?

5) Hope. It's not the end if they did not do well. I remember my friends. One of them who did badly in O levels, is now a A*STAR scientist. They should not give up.

That's all I have for now.

Thanks!
