In life everyone of us have bad time in, it can be annoying or embarrassing especially when is looks like you have just fool yourself. Everyone of us have been in that situation that everything is moving smoothly as planned and all of a sudden boom it will start going the other way round and you know how embarrassing it can be. Growing up I was able to be among the best 3 in my class, so I continued this way and maintained it till I finished my elementary school, I was given the award of the best graduating student of the year during my days in elementary school, and that increase my credit and reputation as a student, I always receive this feeling of Joy when ever I go through my past results record.
Here in high institution, after on first semester exam which we refer as preliminary Training Section (PTS), I came out being the overall best Students and everyone respects me for that, and you know how people can be as well, people started coming close and try making friends with me, actually I'm not the type that have much friends, so I was not returning the same energy to everyone, but we are cool with each other, after series of Examination I always on hold the legacy of being the best. My friends always come to me to explain things to them, and I'm a teacher by destiny and gift so after every lessons we have, they will understand better and perfectly making them also having good grades in class and after exams.
Not all till my final year now, when I started engaging in alot of things, but online and offline activity, so responsibility were much on me, I started having drops in my performance and that gave me concern but at that moment I can not help it, I will read and work do other things before returning to my books it will look so new to me, than I realized that I needed extra effort and support academically but before you know it it is already Examination period and I have sit for it. I tried covering the little I could and after the exams my grade dropped and it was so embarrassing seeing how low my grades are, because a lot of people were looking up to me. But the deed have been done already but I planned to be more serious this time around than ever. So one day we had a guest lecturer who schedule her classes on Saturday, it was actually a practical class, I went to the class and was seated already before her. During the lectures and practical, she mentioned one practical that we have done before and I only hear of it but I'm yet to see it or perform it, she called me out to Demonstrate the practical, honestly at that moment I knew I don't have an idea about that, I tried telling her but she instead I must say something, when I started it was looking like I'm getting it, but I have program my mind that I don't know it,I went blank and couldn't say anything more, I felt embarrassed in the Front of everyone including my Junior colleagues who I do teach most times. She have to ask me to go inside OMG I couldn't walk boldly again to me chair. It was horrible being in that class that very Day. Of a trust I decided that I will not attend the woman's lectures again because how ok Earth will I explain things to her and she will still insist, and why I felt much embarrassed that was my first time being in that situation, I always give my class and my course mates hopes when ever I'm called to explain things in class, that very day it was like I have failed the people who always look up to me, and it was difficult to face them, but at last I have no other choice than to like the lectures class and study ahead of time, I believe I will give my class hope the next time.
