Someone once asked...

“I have a huge problem, I recently got accepted to apply for Hunter College High School, which has an acceptance rate of 6-7%. I got accepted to take the test because my state test scores were fantastic. If I pass the test, I get to go there. I am very scared and nervous, because I believe I'm not that smart, but also, I don't want to let my parents down.”

First off congratulations. Your hard work has been recognised and I’m very happy for you. When I’m nervous I try to meditate/ do something that takes all of my focus for as long as it takes to stop interacting with the thought or emotion. After this I try to remain in the moment by slowing everything down breathing, walking, talking stay fully focused on the present and what you’re doing. The smartest person in the room is the person who never believes they know it all. Safe travels :)
