Thank God it's Friday.
That's a popular saying of most Nigerians on Friday but was not for a boy named Matthew who was preparing for his Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE). Preparations has been going on for him and his friends by reading their books, attending tutorials and also reading articles online relating to their area of focus.
The examination had begun but before the examination began they had to pay for the examination, register and also go for their capturing as it is being done for years after that there will be release of examination time table which varies from set to set. For this set they had all trade subject which are photography, marketing, bricklaying, data processing, dying and bleaching, electrical installation and many others immediately followed by their practical subjects like chemistry, physics, biology and agricultural science before having essay and objective subject like mathematics, English, literature in English, Accounting e.t.c.
The exam has begun it now the day for Mathematics. Now most people have this felling about the subject Mathematics as one hard subject that is not easy to pass but as for Mathew and his friends they believed since they have prepared adequately there is no cause for alarm because there is a saying which says "If you fail to plan definitely you've just planned to fail" but as for them they've prepared well.
Something happened to Matthew on the day of Mathematics. But before that day they has Economics but since it was easy for him he finished early but couldn't leave the hall because the examination papers were collected accordingly so he waited till the end of the paper before he could submit but on the day of Mathematics he woke up very early as early as 5am he revised all what he has read and immediately after that he went for morning family devotion and as soon as the devotion ended his parents left for their place of work.
But since he was the only child he was left at home. He taught of what to eat and he eat his best food which is Indomie and egg sauce. After eating he decided to just lay his head on the bed. Not knowing to him "a little sleep a great slumber"
Not knowing that he had made a great mistake. By the time he woke up, saw the time and rushed down to school the examination has already began. He was sweating profusely. He had only 1 hour left for him to sit and write the examination but since he has already read his books the examination was so easy for him but still he had no time to waste. He was so fast then submitted. He began thanksgiving because that was a major subject which of he had not written that's an extra year for him because he also wrote JAMB (Joint Admission Matriculation Board)
