Seems that time is upon us again. As we head into our last official week of classes and get ourselves ready for swap vac, many emotions sweep through our mind. For some, there are feelings of trepidation and fear, for others who have put in the hard yards, there is supreme confidence, and yet, no matter how much you have prepared for the exams, there would always be some elements of doubt and fear. The time is now. Sure, it may seem that we are heading into a time of crisis. But the reality is, how we respond will prove vital to the end result. Times like these, I question whether if all that matters is the result, or if the process is just as important. This holistic approach to our exams seem to be the right way to go. Are we just trying to score well for exams? Or are we trying to pick up skills and show that we have understood these skills for our chosen future occupations.
The reality is this. Life is really all about inches. I mean, yes we are in deep doo doo now. For most of us, time is running out. We still have many topics to cover and yet, the facebook consumes us. So we can stay here, in our self pity, or we can fight our way back into the light, we can climb out of the poo, inch by inch, one inch at a time. Now on this team, we fight for that inch, we claw and tear away at anything just for that inch. For when we add all those inches up, we know its going to make a difference. I promise its not going to be easy. There will be times where we feel like giving up. But take hope that the rest of your kiwis are going through the same thing, and most importantly, in our suffering, we have a hope in our Lord.
Pretty soon, the exam timetables of your fellow kiwis will be posted up. I would like to urge all of us to pray for each other. Pray for the favor of the markers, for strength of mind, for concentration and above all, pray for diligence. With one pump fisted raised, let us all Ah ooh in unison as we head into the final battle.....
"We practice for we hope for perfection"
