It's shining amongst the rest... |
"this is it!" I told myself as i clutched onto my bag with trembling fingers as i walked past the huge gates. "I made it! I made it!" I felt like screaming, To fling my bag to the perfect grass spot at the side and perform a cartwheel to leviate the huge and immense feeling of joy swelling within me. Everything felt like a dream. I was leaving my counrtyside to study in a prestigious school! It made my family proud. I renember walking through the train station, the posters, flyers everywhere in the jubilant city. Smiling people, cluster of girls in high school uniforms... Life was going to be exciting! I couldn't wait! Deeper, and deeper i walked into the building, awed in how intricate and detailed every corner is furnished and design. But the place felt a bit empty... There was a cleaner woman, some office people, but everything was hushed and silenent... Fearing the worst, i took out the map mom had given me. I approached the cleaner woman and asked, "Am i here?" Pointing to the red circle on the tattered map. The cleaner woman gravely shaked her head and said in a raspy voice in reply," My dear girl, you are holding the map the wrong way." I raised my eyebrows and stared at the map she was holding in disbelief. My goodness! I was at the far end of where i was supposed to go! "Thank you! I have to be going!" I bowed my head slightly to her and ran out the building... Life, was going to be interesting in this city. |
