A Painful Lesson: My Forgotten Questions in EDME 432
It was August 2018, during my final year at Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria Kaduna state Nigeria where I was pursuing my first degree. I was seated in the exam hall, armed with my pen, calculator, and a determined mindset, ready to tackle the EDME 432 mathematics exam.
The exam commenced, and I began to meticulously answer each question. However, as I was nearing the end of the exam, I made a grave mistake. In my haste and anxiety, I overlooked two questions, leaving them blank. It wasn't until I had submitted my answer sheet and was about to leave the exam hall that the realization hit me. A wave of fear washed over me as I frantically tried to recall the questions I had missed.
The consequences of my forgetfulness were severe.
Those two unanswered questions cost me dearly, significantly impacting my overall grade. In fact I failed the course because of forgetfulness.I was devastated, feeling as though all my hard work had been undone in an instant. The weight of disappointment was crushing, and I couldn't help but wonder what could have been if only I had been more careful.
Although the experience was painful, it taught me invaluable lessons that have stayed with me to this day.
I learned the importance of being meticulous and thorough, especially in high-stakes situations like exams.
As part of the many Lessons, I realized that effective time management is crucial in avoiding last-minute mistakes.
I understood the need to remain calm and composed, even in the face of adversity.
I discovered that setbacks can be overcome, and that it's essential to bounce back from failures.
In the aftermath of my forgetfulness,I had to come to terms with the consequences. However, I refused to let it define me. Instead, I chose to learn from my error and use it as a stepping stone for growth. I worked diligently to improve my time management and attention to detail, ensuring that I wouldn't repeat the same mistake in the future.
Looking back, I realize that forgetting those two questions in EDME 432 was a blessing in disguise. It taught me valuable lessons that have helped me navigate subsequent challenges. Although the experience was painful, it has made me a stronger, wiser, and more resilient individual.
