Hooke - 12 years in the making -

Today is the first day of the exam, and the tense atmosphere goes without saying. I remember myself back then; it was on this very evening, at this exact time, that I was reviewing for tomorrow's test. My mother came over with our neighbors to see me, bringing a large amount of drinks. After chatting for a while, they left. Though I was moved, I mostly felt pressured. The next day ended as scheduled, and as soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw my mother who had been waiting under the blazing sun for a long time. Those two streams of tears... I can still vaguely remember them. When I picked up the phone, my heart surged with emotion - both anticipation and fear... Eventually, I repaid my 12 years of hard work with a score 19 points higher than the first-tier line, fulfilling many people's expectations.
