Does it matter if ....?

Does it matter if .....

I don't do well in the test?

I don't achieve the targeted band?

I don't emerge the best candidate?

I don't impress my desk officer?

I don't outdo my friends?

No, it doesn't.

However ...

It does matter if .....

I'm not being empathy!

I don't care about my young charges!

I ignored my posse!

I don't show concern!

And, I'm well aware that ...

I, really matters to my students!
