King Whitney once famously remarked that Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

So, for a change, and for once, your names have not found a place in the mark statement at all. It's up to you to identify your handwriting and thereby your marks. All the best.!

Regards,
Rufus
