The Countdown to Cambridge: What My Heart Has to Say

By Rana Abu Bakr – Senior III

It’s the moment before the storm. I’ve dedicated three years of my life to achieving excellent grades in my Cambridge exams. I’ve worked tirelessly to reach this goal.

As the countdown continues, I feel extremely anxious about my fate. My parents are counting on me, and they believe I’m an excellent student—these results are my chance to prove that.

I believe these results are the foundation of my future—the stepping stone to what I want to achieve in life. I truly hope I do well.

Whatever unfolds when those results appear, I’ll carry forward what I’ve learned—not just from books, but from the fire, fear, and faith that brought me here.
