A problem you encountered and how you solved or managed it

“The valance shell of an atom has 18 electrons while…” Listening to my chemistry teacher drone on and on about atoms, shells and whatnots, I could have sworn nearly half the class was asleep. As usual some of them had already dozed off, others reading storybooks under the table. And as always the teacher was so engrossed with boring us to death that he was oblivious to the lack of attention he was receiving. As for me I was struggling to understand and digest the gibberish our teacher was throwing at us like he expected everyone to be able to understand immediately. Frantically copying down notes, not even sparing them a second glance for fear of missing something, I briefly wondered how I was going to pass my chemistry at this rate…




As soon as the bell rang, I rushed over to the tables of my friends Zachary and Wei Liang and immediately started a discussion with them about the notes we copied during class. Reviewing the notes with my friends and discussing the points we managed to understand, I managed to grasp the topic a little better. However at this rate, I wasn’t going to pass the upcoming exam on Chemistry.

Brainstorming for ideas on how to overcome this obstacle, I scoured through the textbook, assessment books and even the Internet. However, without a teacher to mentor and guide me, the information provided little success. Preparing for the worst, I read the topic again and again, digesting and processing what little information I could remember while juggling homework from the other subjects and my CCA training.

With a few weeks left to the CA1 exam, I was getting desperate. I even contemplated getting a temporary tuition teacher but decided against it as I did not have the time to attend the long tuition hours. Suddenly an idea stuck me. I was appalled that I didn’t think of it earlier as it was the most obvious solution. I could stay back after school and have personal supplementary lessons from my teacher!

Cursing my stupidity, I immediately requested after-school lessons from my teacher. After making some minor changes to her schedule, she promptly agreed. Diligently staying back even after the bell that marked the end of school rang, I received the tutorage of my teacher. Slowly I started to grasp the topic much more easily thanks to the fact that she patiently explained any theories I did not understand. Finally the day of reckoning arrived. As the test paper was laid in front me, I mentally reviewed all that I had learnt during my short lessons with my teacher. Minutes passed, then an hour. Soon I was done, with half an hour to spare. Conscientiously checking through my answers, I fervently prayed that I could at least pass the test.

A few days passed and the papers were given back. I could hardly believe it when I scanned through the paper. The time and effort spent was well spent. There, on the top corner of the paper, was a big fat 90! I leapt with joy, thanking my teacher for helping me achieve my goal. Without her, I could never have solved my problem!
