Dear Mother,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to talk to you about something that I know will
disappoint you. I did poorly on my recent school term exam. I know how much you believe in
me and how important my education is to you, so I want to explain what happened.
Firstly, I want you to know that I take my studies seriously and I always strive to do my best.
However, this time around, a few unexpected challenges came up that affected my performance.
One major factor was that I struggled to grasp a particular subject or topic in class. I tried my
best to understand it, but I couldn't seem to fully grasp the concepts despite putting in extra time
and effort to study.
Moreover, during the week leading up to the exam, I was feeling unwell, which made it difficult
for me to concentrate and study effectively. I did my best to push through, but I believe my
health condition impacted my performance on the day of the exam.
I know this is not an excuse for my poor result, and I take full responsibility for it. I am
disappointed in myself, and I understand the importance of performing well academically. Please
know that I am not giving up. I plan to work closely with my teachers, seek extra help if needed,
and put in extra effort to improve in the areas where I struggled.
I promise to do better in the future and learn from this experience. I value your support and
guidance more than anything, and I want to make you proud. I hope you can understand the
circumstances that led to my poor performance, and I assure you that I am committed to
improving.
Thank you for always being there for me and for your unwavering belief in my abilities. Your
encouragement means the world to me.
With love,
