School life story
A Lesson Learnt
The big day had finally arrived. it was the day the result of the per-medical entrance test were to be announced. it was the culmination of an entire year of hard work and grind. Sara had always dreamt of becoming a doctor and following in her illustrious father's footsteps .this morning she was nervous and tense about the outcome. Would she get a good enough rank to be able to get into the top medical school in the country? Her mother blessed her and tried to calm her before she left for school where the result would be passed. Sara, you have worked hard with dedication. I am sure whatever the outcome, your year's hard work will always stand you in good stead.
Two hours later she dragged herself home feeling utterly dedicated and miserable.
She had not scored well enough to get into the college for her dreams. Her mother, however, was thrilled and tried to me I ran back home to ask daddy to drop me at school and got a scolding from him for my tardiness. Luckily I managed to rush through the school gate just as the morning bell rang, only to run right into my headteacher who glared at me disapprovingly and gave me lunchtime duty on the grounds.
Entering the classroom a little late, I got the shock of my life to. see my classmates with their test books out. Our teacher had announced a surprise test in geography. Needless to say, it was a hopeless case as I had not really revised for it. Lunchtime in the hot sun, minding the children was real misery. I longed for a cool drink in the cafeteria with my friends but didn't dare do it for fear of inviting more trouble. thankfully period after the break was a free one as the teacher was absent, so I decided to sneak a quick nap. woke up with a start when i delt a sharp top on my shoulder. I looked up and shuddered to see my class teacher holding a note for my parents.
Soon the school was over and thankfully I dragged my feet towards my bus, hoping to get a window seat. but it was not to be because all the seats were taken and I was forced to stand all the way home As I entered the home sweet home I vowed never to wake up late again.
