1st Semester is Nearly Over

I was sitting on a bench, thinking what to write for my self-awareness diary. It's one of our requirements for this semester. I was near the entrance so I couldn't stop looking at people's faces as they pass by. Some were running, some were laughing with their phones, and some looked happy as if they owned the world with their great smiles, and some looked worried. I was interested with this girl, I can't clearly see her face since the time she swiped her ID, she's been looking at the ground as if shes counting every steps safely. She was tall, about 5'6''. She had a black straight glossy hair. I followed her with a staring look. Then she passed in front of me. I wondered what kept her tilting her head forward. When she was about three steps away, she suddenly tripped and fell off the ground. I was a bit shocked. I was about to drop my stuffs to help her but she was very quick, she stood up, tapped her knees and started walking but this time normally as if nothing happened. I should have done something, I should have helped her. But how she stood up and waved her hair, it was like more of an awakening. Then I had clue, maybe she was upset about her past grades. Now this is something to be worried about. Passing our subjects is hard, but as a student we are not just aiming to pass, we are aiming to maintain a good grade for us to have a diploma. Other than that, you will be left in a corner of the gymnasium with just a certificate of accomplishment while your classmates were already marching ready to recieve their diploma. So it's not that easy, how much more of a nursing student. Then I realized, maintaining a good grade is not possible if you have just knew the semester is nearly over, then you stood up and tried to start what a focused student would do.
