It was a time when I had to wait for my application results for a lyceum. Currently I am studying at this lyceum, but at that time I had to wait so long. It took so long because the website wasn't working well; it was working slowly because, you know, every student that gave applications were checking for their answers. I was so anxious and it got on my nerves so badly, but my mom calmed me down. I tried to be calm and patient. It was so challenging because it was kind of a huge moment of truth, but I managed to stay calm. Still, my anxiety level was at its peak, but I managed to stay calm and got my answer first, and it was positive. They said I will be studying at that lyceum from next year, and I was so happy and motivated because I tried to enter this lyceum and I did it. But the waiting part was the most challenging part. My whole life, my whole works and projects were flashing in front of my eyes. But staying calm and patient is the most useful way to wait for something important.
