Low Marks in Exams and self confidence
Low Marks in Exams and self confidence :
A school principal in Singapore sent this letter to the parents before the exams.
Dear Parents,
The exams of your children are to start soon. I know you are all really anxious for your child to do well. But, please do remember that amongst the students who will be sitting for the exams,
There is an artist who doesn’t need to understand Math...
There is an entrepreneur who doesn’t care about History or English literature...
There is a musician whose Chemistry marks won't matter...
There is an athlete whose physical fitness is more important than Physics...
There is a writer who does not need to understand Mathematics and Physics…
If your child does get top marks, that’s great! But, if he or she doesn't loose self-confidence, that is the GREATEST!!! Please don't take away their self-confidence and dignity from them. Tell them it's OK. It's just an exam! They are cut out for much bigger things in life. Tell them, no matter what they score. You love them and will not judge them. Please do this and when you do, watch your children conquer the world.
One exam or a low mark won't take away their dreams and talent.
And please do not think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world.
With Warm Regards,
The Principal
