The wait is almost over, but the anxiety is building. The five days can feel like an eternity for students eagerly awaiting their Matric results. Self-doubt creeps in, accompanied by fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. Matriculants often worry that they might not be good enough, stress about disappointing their parents, and if their results will determine their future.
