Yesterday morning I ran into a student in the hallway at school. She told me she was very nervous about the coming UEE. To help her relax, I wrapped her in a long hug and told her to take the UEE a little easier and to practice taking deep breaths.
Coincidentally, I read a sentence in the latest issue of Reader's Digest ("Raising Kids Who Care," June 2009, p. 70), which I think might help relieve pressure:
"...there is no right or best path to take...because everyone has different strengths."
The sentence came from Tara Fang in Malaysia, who, an 18-year-old lady willing to care about others, is editing a compilation of 100 stories in which young Malaysians share the different paths they have taken after graduating from high school.
It's true that the UEE is important, but it's not "that" important. What matters is whether you do your best. Whatever the result, just accept it and move on. Life is a long journey. As long as you walk on, there is always a way.
