Strange events She was talking about trivial topics with her son when she remembered an event at her university. She remembered that she had to study for a very important exam in one of those subjects that is important in the career she chose, but had some degree of difficulty. Many of her colleagues were also there, taking that same exam. Passing the exam was of the utmost importance as it was the last chance. If she did not succeed she would have to study the same subject again in the next semester. So she presented her exam, it was very hard. She saw the faces of many of her classmates and they all looked at the exam in the same way she did. It was very hard; she tried to concentrate as best she could but… "I definitely won't get through this well." But she fought until the end and handed in her exam with the others. Everyone had an expression of distress. Some stayed outside the classroom, because the teacher did not get up from his chair and began to correct the answers and many left grieving.
She was among those who stayed. She wanted to see the end of this “sad story”. Then the teacher got up and began to call the names of the students whose names were in the tests he was taking from his pile of papers. Of course, because some people left the teacher said "just tell me the name of those who are here." And so they did. Whenever they gave a name the teacher gave his response and when it was her turn to give her name, the teacher said “you got an 8”. Here in Venezuela you need a 10 to pass, she already knew that her grade wasn't good, but she was hopeful that she would pass, that's why she stayed there. And although she was sad, something told her not to leave. She stayed with many who told the teacher that his exam was very difficult. Surprisingly, the teacher began to empathize with the students and decided to do something nice for them. He then said: "Those who got 9, now have 10 points, they passed!" She was sad, thinking: “A single point! I don’t get to pass because of a single point! …Those boys are lucky" Then the miracle happens. The teacher asked for her name was and she said with great sadness "Teach I only have 8 points, can you please help me?" and the teacher just said, “Everyone who has an 8 who is also here now have 10 points” Everyone there, including her, shouted with joy and thanked the teacher, while they left. She went home alone, all her friends doing the same. She wondered, just for a moment, "what a bizarre situation" how did this entire situation happen? This had never ever happened before! Not to her at least. Everything happened in such a strange way… This way of passing a subject never happened again during the rest of her study life.

Yeah.. There are always strange events you don't expect. They just happen. Even when you prayed hard for it, it doesn't happen. I'm happy for her. 😉
That is true: I was too ... very happy
Is she by chance the author of this article? 😊
Yes, she is the author. Events in the life he had as a student.
Well she has a good story 😊
Yes thanks. It is in the third person but it is one of the many stories of my life.
Reminds me of my quantum mechanics subject. Nobody passed, initially but then by the end of the day, the entire class passed
Whoops. Yes, they are one of those surprises that you stop to think about and wonder what really happened? never happened.
True. After that sem, we were all just clueless and lost but relieved that we were finally done with thwt hell of a subject, honestly
Yes, it's crazy. After learning from the rest of the student population what happened to the students who stayed to review the exams and knowing that many of the students passed their exam just for being there, I assure you that many regretted having gone to their houses so fast.
As long as they passed though, i don't think anything is regrettable about that at all. They can get the rest they deserved after such a tiring hell of an exam
They regret it are the people who did not pass the matter, just for not being there at the time that if the others were. That is what they regret.
Ahh the people who failed to wait out the final say of the professor. That is indeed regrettable
