It was a big deal for me because I had studied very hard for it. The pain was not just the low score, but the feeling that my effort was wasted. I was so hurt and disappointed. For a few days, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. As a result, I decided to ask my teacher for help. I also joined a study group with classmates. We practiced together every week. Now I understand that failure is a part of learning. That experience taught me to ask for help when I need it.

I have grown stronger and more willing to try again. Example Post-writing Step 3 Share your passage with the class.
