Disappointment coursed through my veins. Another failure. Another time I wasn't good enough. Why am I not good enough? Why can't I score straight As? How can others', who don't study as hard as me, score higher than me? I always tell myself to study harder. And, I do! Then, I get another failure. I wallow in self-pity. Why can't I change? Each failure kills me from inside. Chip by chip. Piece by piece. Excruciating pain.
