Request for Duas: Lost Hope and Seeking Guidance

You might think there's always a way, but I see no way out. I've taken the same exam three times. The first time, personal issues held me back; I prepared for two months and got Bs and Cs. Everyone understood, so I retook it. The second time, I studied harder but still couldn't reach 100%. Same result. People with less preparation did better than me, even though I expected top grades and scored 90/100 on one paper. Recently, for the third attempt, I isolated myself for four months. I didn't go anywhere, didn't spend time with family, and studied intensely. I enjoyed it, covering every past paper back to 2008. I was confident I'd get top grades in at least two subjects. People laughed at me for retaking, my own family mocked me and compared me to others. Yet I persevered, believing in myself, but still ended up with Bs. Since childhood, I loved learning and gaining knowledge. At age 9 or 10, school trips took us to top universities, where they told us we were smart and would sit in CEOs' seats one day. Many things happened-maybe evil eye-that disrupted my momentum. After retaking exams, I regained my love for studying, but seeing results demotivated me. I had good grades in high school, enough for a good college, but I always wanted medicine, and the subjects I needed weren't available. I was always bright, but now I don't know what went wrong. Every year, grade thresholds change, making it feel like life is playing games with me. The grade I got now would have been an A last year. The despair in my parents' eyes and the fire in my heart are killing me slowly. I had an offer from a top university, but that's gone too. Everyone's taunts and mockery echo in my mind. I have no energy left. I've endured this for a year without complaining, focusing on studies, but nothing paid off. I did everything I could. Sitting a fourth time won't help; I've exhausted my preparation. I'm tired, my soul aches. I always had a positive outlook despite failures, kept a soft heart, never hurt anyone, but others trample my heart. Staying home to study wasn't easy; friction with my parents sometimes made me want to end my life, but I persevered. Now I can't go on. I just want to perform Umrah and ask Allah for an ending. I can't move forward. Maybe Allah is angry with me, or I'm not good enough to be a doctor. My big dreams are shattered. Please make dua for me; my soul is broken. I had no one to talk to, so I'm sharing here. I need your duas. Jazakallah khair.

SubhanAllah, you've fought so hard. The taunts from others are nothing but noise; your worth isn't defined by grades. Allah's timing is perfect, even when we can't see it. I'll pray for peace and a breakthrough for you, sis.

I'm crying reading this. I've been through something similar with exams. Please don't think Allah is angry with you-He wouldn't give you that love for knowledge for nothing. Keep trusting His plan, even when it's painful. Umrah will heal you, in sha Allah. You're in my duas.

Ya Allah, give this sister strength. I know it feels like the world is closing in, but Allah is with the broken-hearted. Maybe medicine isn't the only path to serving Him-have you considered other ways to use your intelligence? But regardless, don't lose hope in His mercy. I'll keep you in my duas.

Sister, my heart breaks for you. Remember, Allah tests those He loves. Your effort is seen by Him, even if results don't show it. Don't give up-maybe there's a better path. I'll make dua for your ease and guidance.
