The day of their final exams had finally arrived, and Nora and Ethan were feeling nervous but prepared.

They had studied hard together, and Nora was confident that she had mastered the material. Ethan, too, seemed calm and focused.

As they sat in the exam hall, waiting for the proctor to distribute the exams, Nora reached out and took Ethan's hand. "Good luck," she whispered.

Ethan smiled and squeezed her hand. "You too," he said.

The exams were grueling, but Nora and Ethan persevered, using all the strategies and techniques they had learned during their study sessions.

When the exams were finally over, Nora and Ethan let out a sigh of relief. They had done it!

But as the days went by, Nora and Ethan found themselves feeling increasingly anxious. They had done their best, but they couldn't shake the feeling that they might not have done enough.

"I'm so nervous," Nora confessed to Ethan one day. "What if we didn't pass?"

Ethan took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "We'll be fine," he said. "We studied hard and we're prepared. We just have to wait and see."

But the waiting was agonizing. Nora and Ethan found themselves checking the school's website obsessively, waiting for the exam scores to be posted.

Finally, the day arrived. Nora and Ethan sat at Ethan's computer, their hearts racing with anticipation.

Ethan took a deep breath and clicked the mouse. The page loaded, and Nora's eyes scanned the screen frantically.

And then she saw it. Her name, followed by a passing grade.

Nora let out a shriek of excitement and threw her arms around Ethan. "We did it!" she exclaimed.

Ethan grinned and hugged her back. "We sure did," he said.

But their celebration was just beginning. As they scrolled down the page, they saw that they had both been awarded scholarships to a prestigious university.

Nora's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my gosh," she breathed. "We're going to university together!"

Ethan whooped with excitement and lifted Nora off the ground. "We're going to conquer the world together!" he exclaimed.

As they hugged each other tightly, Nora knew that this was just the beginning of an amazing journey. She and Ethan had worked hard and achieved their goals, and now they were ready to take on the world together.
