ADVICE: AUNTIE AGNI

Salaam Auntie,

I am a young girl from a middle-class family. I have been a brilliant student throughout my academic career. After my graduation, I decided to pursue the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam.

My first attempt was not good enough. However, I worked hard and did my second attempt. The second time, I failed a subject by a narrow margin, even though I was sure of clearing it. The result has shattered me. I took almost three years to prepare for my second attempt. At this time, I feel that I have achieved nothing and family expectations are adding to the pressure.

My classmates and friends have gone away and, also, I had no communication with anyone during my exam preparation. Now, I feel exhausted and life seems to have no purpose. During this time, I intentionally let professional opportunities pass me by in order to clear........
