Hi Auntie,
Hope you are doing well. I am a 13-year-old girl, studying in grade seven. This is my first time writing to you. My paper is on November 17 and my preparations are good, too. However, I feel insecure. There are also some family issues that have impacted my focus on studies, along with anxiety over results, and I think I will only be able to get 80 percent marks and not make it to 90 percent.

In the first term, I scored 84.38 percent but my mom inquired why it was not 90 percent. When my sister was in school, she got 80 percent, and my mother said good. In my case, I have never heard her say she is proud of me. This shatters my heart.

I practised hard but I don’t know why I could not score 90 percent. I agree I am badly addicted to my laptop but I learn new things too. I hope you will answer me before........
