Something I achieved is the complete mark in natural science this year. So this year I had a very important exam in Ramadan and my routine was very messy and I hadn't studied it really much. I can say I didn't study it even because my routine was very messy. I just woke up very early and I slept really late so I hadn't the energy to do this exam so I really accepted 100% that I would fail in this but unfortunately. And the day of the exam, the exam was too hard. It was hard, very, very hard, and I was really, really shocked. Like, what is this? The exam was hard. The questions were understandable. I was really confused about the exam. Anyways, I did the questions and I tried to do this and to answer. And finally, I got 16 out of 20 and it was a really great achievement because I wasn't accepted, I accepted just 10 or maybe less. But I got 16 so it was really a great achievement for me. I really felt great and I felt proud of myself.
