So talking about a time when I received amazing news, it was two years ago. It was about my grade tenth result. I was waiting for it for around three to four months. I attended my exams in May, and I got the result in August. So it was around four months later. It's actually a story from two years ago. I scored 3.60 on that result and was congratulated by many. I was over the moon when I received the result. My elder brother, who is just two years older than me, informed me by calling my phone. At the time, I was actually cropping plants in the field. When I received the news, it was amazing for me. I was literally over the moon because I did not expect to get more than 3.40. But since I received 3.60, it's considered a plus distinction result, 3.60 out of 4. Since then, I was really happy, and we had a party later that night with all my family members. After that, I immediately joined my higher school for the course in civil engineering.

So talking about a time when I received an amazing news was two years back. It was about my great-tenth result. I was waiting for it for around three to four months. I attended my exams in May and I got the result of it in August. So it was around four months ago. It’s actually a story of two years back. I scored 3.60 on that result and had been congratulated by many. I was over the moon when I received the result. Actually my elder brother, who is just two years older than me, informed me by phoning myself on my contact number. At the time I was actually cropping plants on the field. When I received the news it was amazing news for me. I was literally over the moon because I did not expect myself to get more than 3.40. But since I received 3.60 it’s considered as a plus distinction result. 3.60 out of 4. Since then I was really happy and we had a party later that night with all my family members.
