Greetings, deer students,

Upon learning that you are all about to be faced with the high school entrance exam in less than 03 days, we wonder what you are feeling right now. Are you anxious? Nervous? Or are you confidently counting down the days until the exam finally takes place?

People often advise students to cease any learning activities and rest for the last two days; but in reality, not all of us did so last year. We truly believe that every single one of you is in control of your own lives, and therefore should be allowed to do anything you want in those remaining days as long as it is to your comfort.

Before the exam, whether we had readily revised our materials or not, none of us had a good sleep. In fact, how could we? Our whole life, or at least our fate for the next 1000 days, were dependent on those very exams. As for what we wish to remind you, remember to bring a bottle of water along with your school equipment to your test sites. We would also highly recommend seeking advice from older people, as they have been through the experience before. A little bit of music can help you ease off effectively too! We, along with your friends, families, teachers and more, are all counting on you.

Your exam days are arriving soon. Those will be the most stressful period but also the most important as they determine your future success. We’ve all had one year to prepare for this “battle”, some even took two years to do so. It’s hard to change anything now as our journeys are coming to an end, so be self-assured and secure your victories! Success will come to those who believe in themselves.

On the day the results were announced, all of us could not help but bursted into tears of joy, knowing that the following 1000 days would be the very best ones in our lives. Remember to always look forward to that moment, and keep reminding yourself of what you are capable of. 13 majors and 50 clubs await your arrival!

These remaining 60 hours will dictate your future; and they are sure to run out before long. Are you ready for the challenge?

We love and believe in you guys,

Ha Anh (Literature 2023) and other club members of Ams Wide Web
