Now that’s hard stuff.

I was sitting there looking at him when his lips started to say the words I didn’t care to hear. I’ve taken this test many times before and failed.  It’s not that I didn’t try to pass. I really did what I could to get myself in the right place to prevent a high score. I know what some of you are thinking, Rick is trying to get a low score no wonder he’s failing.

Not all tests are to prove we are the best. Sometimes scoring low or getting no score at all is really the goal. It doesn’t matter, I scored high and now must take another test, a bigger test, a more difficult test and the worst part, I can’t study, I can’t cram, I can’t even get a tutor to help me bring my score down. I’m literally helpless.

Its very frustrating taking tests in life. Especially when they lead to other tests and more work and uncertainty. I’ll be okay I just have to get used to the idea that I don’t do so well on these tests and I may ultimately fail.

Not one of us gets a free ride in life. Tests come and go and sometimes we do okay, and sometimes, despite doing our best, we fail. This is one test in life I really would rather not fail but I’m not in charge. I hate that part.  I can’t beg, I can’t plead and I can’t buy my way out. I guess I’ll just have to buck and up do what I can. Now, that’s hard stuff.
