I was WAY behind in my study schedule and would have likely failed.

But in 2001 earthquake stuck and the exams were postponed. That extra time helped me complete my studies and I got more marks. Which helped me get into good college and have a stable career.

A tragedy actually changed my life.

this just shows how ridiculous our current school system is, forcing everyone to learn at the same pace, and if you can't keep up you fail and don't get a chance to improve when all you really needed was a bit of extra time.
