Elijah's Life Experiences

" A sad twist to an incident in the MRT train " was an essay I submitted recently in school.             I started to cry.             Recently, my grades had dropped from As to Cs due to my conceit and addiction to playing online games. My parents were totally devastated by the drop in my academic grades. Being uneducated food hawkers, all they could do was try to counsel me but to no avail. To make matters worse, I recently failed my Mathematics exam; and Mathematics had always been my strongest suit. That was the final straw. My attitude in class deteriorated.
