I Failed The Selective Entrance Exams in Victoria - What I learnt

hi as the title implies I pretty much failed selective entrance into the selective schools of Victoria today we're going to touch on a topic that has affected my high school life and thousands of others to my Roma and the other students who have received a rejection email I like many others have sat the selective exams at the time I attended an all-boys school known as national college and indecently while at school averaging 80s are higher and majority of my subjects except for English I didn't enjoy school but I wanted more then one day my friend suggested that I should try out for the selective schools in Victoria I did a bit of research and heard that my other friends were applying I felt like this was an opportunity for more I didn't want to apply for a meet just since I wasn't that interested in getting into another all-boys school I also did not set the big year eight to nine entrance exam I forgot to submit my application form before the due date even though I had attended Jack tutoring and had been reminded almost every week my childish self-chosen eclectic and make up for it by signing up for my school scholarship test I did not get it nor did I study for it only did it to make myself feel better for all the money that my parents had spent on tutoring later that year one of my friends had gotten into nussle I said to myself that I would apply for the selective schools again next year and get it that didn't happen I applied for you nine to ten entrance I got you turd and I studied but I still preferred to play league i sat the NHS and J Mascis exams and got to superiors on the subjects which I didn't study for verbal reasoning and reading comprehension although I got superiors it wasn't you know for now so I had to be top ten which required at least three superiors as for JMS s I got an interview but I said that I could just rock up to the interview and destroy it that didn't happen I stumbled stuttered and felt anxious when questioned I didn't really prepare I felt a bit annoyed at myself that I didn't get in but I was glad to find out I can get to superiors because I just need to focus on improving my weaknesses so once again I said I could try one more time and get in now it was for a year 10:00 to 11:00 entrance I played once again for muscle and John Monash but this time I felt though I had studied for both until the last week before the John Monash exam but my girlfriend at the time break up with me a week before the entrance exam and I kind of enter dust of depression the first relationship video will come out eventually but for now this is all about the entrance exams she attended muscle so I gave up on that exam as for John Monash I said that I would destroy it and get in so that I can prove to everyone that I can overcome my feelings instead that didn't happen I gave in and chose the easier way out failing since it was my first heartbreak I didn't know what to do and I made a lot of mistakes after those three years of trying I felt each and every time in a different manner I got kind of annoyed at myself because I had tried kind of and spent a decent amount of money however I didn't beat myself up over it for more than a week because I knew that it was the result of not wanting it as badly yes my friends didn't bring it up every now and then and shoved my failures in my face but I learned to just ignore it my entrance exams didn't end with John Monash in law school there was one school / program which I hadn't heard of before which focused heavily on stem that was Elizabeth Blackburn school of sciences this exam was two months after the first two and gave me enough time to put my feelings aside and focus on this exam I really wanted to leave my current school at this point no one believed in me but myself my social environment soured because of my social mistakes and schooling at my old school no longer was enjoyable i sat the EBUS exam studied mathematics almost every day ensuring that my basic skills requite I didn't work on verbal reasoning and reading comprehension since I was decent at them it finally worked all my hard work and effort paid off when I received my interview notice I got one superior and the rest were high averages and an above average I prepared for the interview and used eight hundreds to gain information about the entrance process I went in today interview prepared answered every question with my prepared statements but the two-week wait after that interview was long so I played games and did other things to get over it but the amount of pressure I felt was enormous since it all was officially my last chance school continued and then that they finally came during Commerce Clause I had received the text / email from my father saying that I had gotten in I told my friend who sat next to me since you made a bet that I wouldn't get in Tevas I'm so happy with myself that I'd finally done it all the amount of failures led up to this one moment learned one important lesson whenever I have a strong desire for something I will do as much as I possibly can to get it from this I learned that I really didn't want to go to law school or John Monash back then yes I wanted it but I did not do everything within my control to get it so for all of you who have just failed it is not the end of the world there is always a way and even if you don't get in the first time there is always an alternative it might be a matter of looking at the process that led up to that result you have the power to change your circumstances you can change your perception of yourself and you can choose how you want to live even if you fail you can always use it to do better the next time because each of your failures leads to success in the end the only thing that you need to do is keep at it ignore the judgments of others and do your very best I hope that my experience is able to provide some insights and some lessons thank you for watching this
