The sound of my mother calling out my name eventually woke me.The moment I opened my eyes images of my grades for the first quarter filled my head. I shook my head and sat up "Think positive!" I told myself.I half dragged myself out of bed,down the stairs and into my mother's room. I plopped down on her bed and tried very hard not to think about my grades.
When we arrived at school at around 9:30 I got so scared.My hands started sweating and my stomach did a somersault(usually happens when I get really nervous) and all I could hear was my heart beat and nothing else.We first went towards the table where the teachers were giving out the report cards of the elementary students.Then we headed to towards the table where the teachers were giving out the cards of the high school students. My mom signed beside my name on the list and handed me my card.With shaking hands I open my card.My heart fell and I felt my face get drained out of color.What I saw left me.....speechless I guess is the correct term.When we all had our cards my mom pulled us to the corner in front of the play ground and sat down on the chair. I stood up and leaned against the pillar.My mom ask my brother for his report card first.After taking a look at it she told my brother to study harder and that he should limit himself from playing games on facebook(which I totally agree with).My mother then asked for my card I hesitated a bit but did give it to her in the end.Then she started talking and I started crying.I told her I was afraid that I won't be able to maintain my grades in_______ for the second quarter.Then she told me to study a lot harder and not to read books anymore(which broke my heart) but then I understood her.At that time I remembered the story we read in our CAF class entitled "Ang Tanging Pamana".After all the drama I unleashed during report card day I promised myself that I would study harder for the next quarter.
