It was my third exam of the week. For the first two I had enough time to prepare for them and take them without any stress. However, that meant taking time away from preparing for this one. I had only one day to study for it (the previous exam had been taken a day earlier), and the content to study was too much. It was beyond me despite having attended all the lectures.

While for the other two exams I allowed myself the pleasure of going to the exam hall with a certain degree of calm, I couldn’t do the same on the morning I went to take my third exam. I could not fail this subject, and I still had another exam on Friday and yet another one the following week.

I prayed to Pedro, knowing that if there was anyone in Heaven who could understand the situation I was in, it would be him. From what I had heard about his personality, I was sure he would be happy to help me from Above.

A few days later I was given my exam marks: I got one of the best marks in the class, as well as being first in the two research papers for the subject, which was a significant boost to my mark.
