Carolyn was a diligent student. She had a major test approaching, and the weight of it seemed to press down on her shoulders. She was determined to succeed.
Every morning, Carolyn woke up early. With a steaming cup of coffee, she set to work. On her desk were a pile of textbooks, some sticky notes and highlighters. She reviewed her class notes, and solved practice problems. She knew the test was her priority. When her friends invited her to outings, she politely declined. She couldn't afford to lose focus. She asked her teacher for help when needed. The day of the test finally arrived. As she sat down with her pencil and the test paper in front of her, she remembered all the hours she had devoted to preparation. The questions didn't seem as intimidating as she had feared. She completed the test with confidence.
Days later, the results were announced. Carolyn had achieved a score beyond her expectation. Her hard work had paid off. She learned that with determination, any goals could be achieved.
