It was a scorching afternoon. My teacher announced that there would be an exam next week.

I did not care. i continued to play video games. A smug look came over me. I was sure that I could pass.

The day of the exam arrived. I realised I hit a huge wall. I tried to remember my facts, but to no avail. Panic engulfed me. I submitted a blank paper.

The results came back. I had failed. My heart sank like an anchor. Regret washed over me. I should have studied for my exam.

In the end, I learnt an important lesson. I resolved to work hard in the future.
