84 Percent!

After nervously awaiting my test scores, I finally was presented with my exam grade. Of course the number was not out of 100 so the 67.5 completely SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I gave a great sigh and said maybe next time, and the previous blog was a useless life lesson. BUT, it was out of 80 points. I received an 84 percent. In my eyes, it’s not good, but at the same time, it’s not terrible. However, after hearing the class average was a 70, I was 24 points above that. I feel it’s a good point to base your grade off of. An 84 with a class average of a 90 is not so good, but I feel so relieved and proud of myself after hearing that statistic. I assumed the worst and it mentally prepared me for the results. Sometimes it’s worth it to put the time and effort into something. The events of last weekend are already being overshadowed by events last night. The temporary feeling goes away after you have a sense of accomplishment.
Sometimes I even doubted the major because I thought it was all riding on this one test. (I tend to exaggerate beyond belief) so maybe I was a little too stressed over it and I let it consume me. I still have many doors open in the field and I feel I have a set future. Not because of this “one exam” but it adds to the positive feeling about that I have about my future. St. John Fisher is well known for its accounting majors and I eventually want to leave my mark here in the program. I remember sitting in a department meeting last year as a freshman and listening to the students they recommended talking about their experiences. I eventually would like to be that role model and give back to students who proceed after me. I will have invested enough money into my tuition, why not make the best of it.
