Please pardon my typo.

So last year jamb makes it the fourth jamb I've taken so far since I finished sec. school in 2016.
The first two are nothing to write home about though it's well above 250.
I took my third jamb in 2019 and did very well,picked pharmacy but at the end I was 1.64 short of cut off mark,I was so down.
I proceeded to do a remedial/pre-degree program of a university the following year which is 2020,I did everything within my power,so determined and read very well cuz I chose medicine but alas I was still 0.96 short of cut off mark.Right now I am extremely depressed,all the money(over 200k),my time,my sleepless night and hardwork is going down the drain.
What is so painful to me at the moment is that I don't know how to explain myself to my family who trusted me so much.I have younger peoples who use to come to me for lesson cuz they are also preparing for one exams or the other,they look forward to me a lot.I'm just so down,how will I explain it.
I've never been so lucky in everything I do,I don't know why.I'm tired of struggling,even before I completed my o level result,it was hell.
It's not that I'm full or something,In the last jamb I had above 300.
I'm just too unlucky,I'm sad, depressed.so tired of misfiring and struggling.

I feel like running away,I don't know how to explain myself to people around me.I'm so unfortunate.

Nairalanders...pls just advice me,I'm tired of everything.

Lalasticlala.... please help move to front page.

I understand how you feel fellow.. life is survival of the fittest. hence, only the fittest scales through. just note that you're not the only person with such problem. don't lose hope, there will definitely be light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks so much,I really appreciate.It's so difficult standing up again after a failure but I will try my best and I believe that God has control over everything.HE surely knows best.
Thanks once again sir

I've been there.
When you're so good that you don't believe failure can have a say in your life.

At a moment I felt those examiners were unworthy of their work. How can someone give me 200 in JAMB?

I wrote on a cardboard paper "Numbers don't define me. Humans don't define me. I'm the king of my world". But that foolish voice in my head told me "who're you deceiving?"

The only fear I had was how to explain my failure to those who believe in me. Let's say I was lucky to have a loving family. They simply trusted me and encouraged me to keep firing my shots.
I finally got through... But not the course I went out for at first.
