Got back my results today, but i am in a dilemna over how to present in such a way that my father will not be unhappy with me as well as that he will not have too high expectations of me.
I have 3 choices to make:
1. Present the actual MYE results, as well as position to my father
Advantages: The 'correct' choice. Would certainly make my father happy. 100% able to go for AC.
Disadvantages: Expectations for next semester's results would skyrocket, even to the point whereby he would expect me to be in the top 5 class position, which i am sure i would not be able to attain.
2. Present the overall results, would greatly even out the results, however the even-ed out results might not account for the 50 mark attainment in math and Chinese and 68 for English.
3. Present a mix of both. So that it is balanced, as well as present a picture that sec 3 is hard, as well as ensure that my father is happy, i can go for AC. And also that my father will not have too high expectations for the next semester.
Therefore i have decided to go with option 3.
But it is a difficult choice to make.
Firstly i will start with the results which i plan to present to my father.
Physics: 83%(Overall mark) Position: one of the top
English: 68% (MYE) Position: Top 10
E Maths: 52% (Overall) Position: Half
History: 82% (MYE) Position: top 10
SS: 78% (Overall) Position: top 10
Chiense: 52% (MYE) Position: -
Geography: 70% (Overall) Position: Top few.
Chemistry:
This will present a balanced score with an average of 70. I am not considering to combine the SS and History results to present, rather i will do it seperately. This will give me 3a1, 1 a2, 2 c6, and a b3. This will actually be a cause for more scolding too, but i know i have to take the situation and analyse it welll to plan my next step.
This should do for me.
Next step: What should i tell him.
Dad. I am sorry that i cant be the best in every subject or be like chen show mao, i know that you love me and you work very hard to provide for us. Therefore, i assure you that i have done my best for this exams, and i can really say that i have done my best. I know its because you love me that you put pressure on me...
I need to gather my thoughts first...
