The Examination Journey - by Favour Umoakpan

The morning breaks with silent grace,A hopeful dream on every face.Books now close, the time has come,For minds to speak, for hearts to drum. The classroom waits in quiet pride,With nervous thoughts we cannot hide.Each ticking clock, each whispered prayer,Reminds us why we're gathered there. An examination, some may fear,Yet it reveals what we've held dear.Not just the facts that we recall,But faith to rise after each fall. The nights were long, the candles burned,With every lesson slowly learned.The ink-stained notes, the highlighted page,Prepared us for this testing stage. We battled sleep to chase a dream,Though nothing was as hard as it seemed.For every chapter, every line,Was another step toward the climb. Some struggled more than others knew,Yet still they fought their journey through.For courage is not never falling,But always answering duty's calling. The question paper meets our eyes,A challenge dressed in calm disguise.Some questions smile, some questions frown,Some try to pull our confidence down. But breathe, be still, and trust your mind,The answers wait; you'll surely find.For knowledge planted deep insideWill never truly run and hide. Do not compare another's speed,Each soul is built for different deeds.One writes in haste, one writes with care,Success is not a race to share. The greatest test is not the sheet,But choosing not to accept defeat.It's finding strength when hope grows dim,And singing faith instead of grim. Examinations come and go,Like rivers with a steady flow.They measure moments, not your worth,Nor all the greatness of your birth. A single grade, however high,Can never teach you how to fly.A single score, however low,Cannot decide how far you'll go. The wise prepare before the fight,With discipline as guiding light.For luck may knock on someone's door,But hard work always offers more. So sharpen pencils, calm your fears,Remember all those patient years.Walk through the hall with head held high,Beneath the wide and watchful sky. Let honesty become your guide,With truth and honor by your side.For stolen marks may briefly shine,But earned success outlasts all time. When papers end and silence grows,Only your effort truly shows.Regardless of the final grade,Be proud of every choice you made. For every scholar has a dayWhen doubts attempt to block the way.Yet those who rise despite the stormDiscover strength in every form. So let each test become a friend,A lesson with a noble end.For every challenge that we facePrepares us for a greater place. One day these halls will fade from view,Yet all you've learned will carry you.Beyond the classroom's painted wall,Your character will stand most tall. Study with purpose, dream with fire,Reach ever higher and still aspire.For excellence is not a prize,But daily choices, strong and wise. So when examination calls your name,Step forward without fear or shame.With faith, with hope, with steady aim,You'll leave far stronger than you came. For every test, both great and small,Is not the end, it is the call.To grow, to learn, to persevere,And greet tomorrow without fear.
