With the final-exam drawing near, I was feeling more and more stressed for fear that I would fail in the exam. I believed no matter how hard I worked, I wouldn’t pass the exam, which may disappoint my parents and teachers. Therefore, I was in low spirits .It was my classmate Tom who often chatted with me after class to make me relaxed and encouraged me to overcome myself. Later on, I felt more relaxed without so much pressure.

What he said made me realize that whether to get higher exam marks is not my real goal. The most important thing is that one should always dream to be better. As long as I try my best and keep up the spirit of not giving up, everything is going well.
