Dear dqdq~
Here is a letter of encouragement to you before the Big Day. :)
I know that you're sometimes insecure, and often anxious about not having studied enough (which is true, btw), please do keep calm and carry on. :) You know fully well what happened in the past when you were overcome with nerves and was almost driven crazy by insomnia during prelims. (Not that you weren't crazy on a normal basis.) I'm sure you wouldn't want that to happen again!
And anyway, you've managed to survive 2 years of JC life and escape unscathed (generally), so at this moment in time you should not let all the effort in the past go to waste. You are better than you think (maybe), so just go on and do your best. Tomorrow will be the the culmination of all academic efforts over the past 6 years. Be strong and strive on. It is the beginning of the end. :)
Even if you do not manage to get what you hoped to achieve, do not be disheartened. When life closes one door, it opens another window. A levels are not the end of everything. While it may be a slight setback in life, a much greater tragedy would be if all your friends deserted you, or if you or your family members become stricken with disease. This may sound cliche, but look at all the unfortunate people around you, and the challenges that lie in front of you will not look so daunting anymore.
No mountain is too high to climb, much less a small hill like this one. The human spirit is strong beyond imagination, and you will be able to achieve, as long as you put your mind to it. Have faith in yourself, and have faith in the magical bell curve. :P
And last but not least, remember that whatever happens, I will always be your biggest fan. :)
All the best!
XOXO,
Yours truly
