          90 days have flown in such a short
          amount of time. I am set to write the
          exam tomorrow. I am full on prayers
          today. Everyone visits me at my small
          home to wish me luck. Although I am
          scared, my sister has pushed up my con-
          fidence. I am lucky that my exam centre
          is in the nearby town. I kept my bag and
          other accessories ready for tomorrow.
          Finally, today is the day. I step out of my
          house early in the morning towards the
          temple by seeking the blessing of the god.
          My heart beats and I can hear the sound
          of my heartbeat. I enter the exam room
