Earlier this year I sat my final secondary school exams. I wasn't stressed by them and just put my head down and studied hard and got them done. As soon as i was finished them though, I became extremely anxious about them. I spent days and nights in bed crying, thinking I failed them and that I wouldn't make it to college. It ruined my whole summer.

Around the same time as the exams, I suffered a pretty bad back injury. I did everything the physio told me to I'm order to recover, but still spent many nights awake in fear that I would never recover. 

Last week I received the results of the exams I sat in June. They were better than I had ever expected. I also received news from my physio that my back has made an almost full recovery and I'm fit to return to sport. 

I spent all those days and nights worrying when in reality, everything was perfectly fine because I put in the hard work. I learned that if I work hard enough, there's nothing to worry about. I start my first year of college in 2 weeks and I'm happier than I've ever been.
