The date of issuance of grade cards has come. The teachers gave our cards first. I received a lot of high grades from all the subjects. I even got the highest grades from some subjects. But, when the teacher announced the Top Ten Students, I was not there! And when I looked at the Ranking, I was only at the Rank 15! Then, I noticed that dreadful grade "80" in Advanced Algebra that ruined all my "94's, 93's, 92's, 91's, 90's" in the average.
I felt so disappointed at that time that I wanted so much to cry. My parents also expected to see my name on that list but I was also disappointed them that make me cry all the more. I was so disappointed that I only walked from our school to our house. It may be five to ten kilometer walk but I never felt tired. I was completely focused in the disappointment I felt.
I realized that doing "ALMOST" is not good; I have to make all things "PERFECT." If I fail even once in my million good shots, and it will just fail all. As what the quote means "One rotten tomato mixed with the good ones will ruin all."
