Tests, exams, and teachers

Iris Dennery, a high school student from Paris, France, tells the Herald about challenges at school.

Iris Dennery: We have lots of challenges in school, especially tests and exams. The most difficult, for me, are French composition and history, because I need to memorize what I've learned.

Herald: What do you do when you feel afraid of exams?

ID: I pray. One idea that helps me a lot is that good can't result in evil. All the good that comes from studying can't go bad just because of fear. If I really study, then I can't forget what I know. God gives me all I need to understand what I study. Praying like this makes me confident.
