When Things Don’t Go as Planned

Assalamualaikum everyone, So, yesterday I got the results for this big exam-the one that could’ve gotten me into a government med school. But I didn't make it. I missed by 54 marks. I honestly tried so hard. Studied loads, kept up with my salah, made lots of du'a, did istighfar... all of it. Right now, I just feel like a total failure. Like I’m a huge letdown to my family. I keep thinking my parents must be so disappointed to have a daughter like me. But even with all that, they’ve been so kind and said they’ll support me through a private med school, even though it’s super expensive-like $25,000 a year. I’m not sure if I’m worth that kind of sacrifice. Part of me wants to tell them to just let me do a regular Bachelor’s degree instead, so they don’t have to spend so much on me. But they’re really pushing me to go for medicine, and they’re being so supportive. Still, I can’t shake this feeling of being worthless. Why didn’t Allah SWT answer my prayers? The ones I made in sujood, the istighfar, the salawat on the Prophet PBUH, all the effort I put in? Why does it feel like I’m being left behind?"}
