LOG 40: optimum speed for lift-off

End of School. Something every kid dreams of, to be done with the entire school routine, for once and for all. But (not so) surprisingly, this wasn’t something that I was particularly enthusiastic about. In the last repetition of my final year of school, I had seemed to grow even closer to my school than I could have previously ever imagined. It could have been because of the team effort that was being put in into my, or rather our, cause by the entire school.

Despite all of the efforts put by my teachers throughout the entire year, I still seemed to be lagging on portions. As unimaginable as it may sound, my teachers quite literally exponentially increased their efforts during my last month of school.  In fact, as unbelievable it might seem, I think it would be safe to say that I learnt my entire year of portions during the last one month of school and that’s when I actually learnt anything and everything new (since by that time I was settled in and had the capacity to truly learn and take in new information). It was truly tremendous. The kind of effort that teachers can put in for their students can be both mind-boggling and pivoting at the same time. They can work wonders for their students when time calls for it. After all, it’s no joke to teach an entire year’s curriculum in one month to someone who has missed an entire year and did not have it anywhere close to easy when it came to taking in and keeping new information.

But quite obviously, as the last few days before my final exam were drawing near, I had the most common question running in my mind that every student would understandably have… Would it all be enough? All the effort, hard work, sweat and energy put in actually pay off? Would it folks? Did I achieve optimum speed for lift-off? Stick around to find out J
