Waiting for the results of an important exam:

Under the weight of the dark cloud of worry, the shadows loomed over me, casting a shadow across every aspect of my daily activities. While my schoolmates basked in their holiday break without a care, the fear of failure dances without a moment’s rest in the back of my mind. How do they manage it? Do they not realise the stakes of this exam? It determines their education and career paths ahead!
