On the night of July 20, 2011, I was surfing the internet, visiting Facebook, when suddenly my friend posted "Yeah! nakapasa ko sa Civil Service Exam!". So then I immediately Googled civil service exam results 2011. I had a hard time finding the right website to view the results. I ended up clicking a link that says: Civil Service Exam Results May 2011. As I reached the page I immediately scrolled and searched for my name. I was so engrossed to seeing my name on the list, and as I scrolled down, I really felt my heart beating so fast! Until I reached the names starting with the letter 'E'... then poof! I suddenly felt so low. I felt like a total loser. My name was no where to be found. Then I scrolled the page up, saddened by the fact that I didn't pass the exam....and as I reached the topmost part of the page, I burst into laughter. I was surprised (but happy!) that the list that I was viewing was the list of exam passers for the year 2010 (whaaaat? seriously?? =D). Then I searched again for the results for the exam this year. I finally I found the right list. I felt my heart beating fast again... I slowly scrolled down the page... reaching the names starting with 'E', then..... I saw my name at last!!! I jumped for joy! and thanked God Almighty for His guidance. I was so happy that I made Mom wake up (sorry Mom! =3) who was already sleeping that time. I searched for another site showing the list of exam passers that would serve as a source to make sure that my name is really on the list. Then, I thought of Dad, and I said to myself, "He would really have been happy and proud that his daughter passed the Civil Service Exam. He would have congratulated me." A part of me was happy, but a part was also sad. I cried. But then I said to myself that I should be strong. I should dedicate this achievement to my Dad and [of course to my Mom], to my parents. He had been a great inspiration to me. Then I smiled and I thought of how I did in on the day of the exam (May 22, 2011). I laughed a bit thinking how I managed to pass the exam when I considered the exam difficult and confusing. I really didn't expect. I only spent a few weeks to review for the exam. But maybe I should believe in myself a little more, that I could do things such as this. It's a great blessing from God indeed. I may now be able to apply for a job in the government. I may be able to start my career. Who knows what my future career will be. Who knows what the future holds? Only God knows.♥
