The Ancients.
did some self evaluation yesterday, and many things just came to my mind.
like stuff that I did in the past came flowing into my brain.
something like a recollection lol.
there was once for this maths CT that was really a true test of my integrity.
I received it back and got 11/20.
At first I thought to myself, not too bad, well it's above the class average.
like how rare it is for me to get above class average.
Then I counted the marks and realised 2 more marks were not counted in, so I should have gotten 13.
well of course anyone will want the 2 extra marks regardless of what our original marks were right.
so I decided to go up and find her at the end lesson.
then while going through the paper, I found an ambiguous mistake worth 1 mark.
the answer was -3.
well during the test, my initial answer was -3, but in the end I changed my answer by canceling the negative sign.
so on the paper it looked a little something like this --> ~3.
so probably ms lim saw it as -3 and marked it correct.
so basically I should have gotten 12.
well after all, 13 is better than 12, and who knows what that 1 mark could have done.
it's 65% vs 60%.
I mark was 5% more.
I was having some emotional argument in my mind.
whether or not to inform about the 1 mark less I should've gotten.
initially I just wanted to claim the 2 extra marks and keep mum about the -3 answer.
I even gave myself the excuse, "aiyah, later ms lim scold me for not canceling properly."
so I went up at the end of the lesson, planning to only claim the 2 marks.
then while I was waiting in line for some other people who went to clarify stuff, suddenly I was reminded of the word of God, and how I should be honest and all.
and how I should be salt and light.
I was reminded to stay true to what I've been taught.
so somehow I just told ms lim, and she didn't scold me for not writing clearly(:
well that 0.2% could have caused me to cross the borderline from B to C.
maybe from 60.0 to 59.8. (if they don't round up)
or 59.5 to 59.3 (if they round up)
don't know.
but even if I had that extra mark, I would not be able to live up to my conscience.
so thank God for reminding me about my moral values.
I'm so lame right.
this kind of thing also can remember.
lol.
yeah I remember many random things.
