So there was this one incident when I completely forgot to take one crucial thing with me during my examination. It happened when I was in class 8 and I was taking my DLE examination which is very important in our country. It was around 8-10 years ago maybe. So the thing that happened is I was getting ready to go to my exam centre. Then I looked for my admin card. I couldn’t really find it anywhere. I frantically searched it everywhere but was unable to get my hand on it. Then I was really at 6 and 7 whether I should go to the exam centre without the admin card or should I just stay at home and cry. My heart was pounding so loudly that I could listen it very carefully and my face got red so fast and I felt like I was getting a fever due to the fear. As our teacher had already told that without the admin card we won’t be allowed to enter our exam centre and the classroom. After searching for a while I blocked off some queries and went to the exam centre. My mother also knew about the situation so knowing the seriousness of the situation she made a call to the principal of my exam centre. Actually it was in Saipal school so she called to that principal and told him what has happened and made him familiar with the circumstances. I was allowed to take my examination because it was our board examination of it and at that time it was considered a very huge deal. He allowed me to enter the exam and I took my exam even though I was very scared and frightened. I was able to understand my hands were literally shaking. I managed to write my symbol number in the paper by confirming from the friends who were in front of me and the pack of me as our symbol number.
