E-MAILED

I wanted to study in Abia State University (Absu) and I wanted to study Theater Arts precisely script writing. So even if I couldn't study Abroad, I could at least study here. Although my parents didn't see my course as something worth the money the couldn't let there only daughter be an under graduate so the still had to see me through.

To my parents, Theater Arts is something anyone could come out and do and you don't even need to read to gain it. Maybe all Nigerian parents saw it as the same thing but not for me , because to me there's a huge difference between something you read and have the certificate to boast and brag about it, not some talent. Moreover, it's script writing we are talking about here not acting.

The rest of my first term went normal with nothing much happening except teachers making emphasis about our WEAC and NECO and before you know it first term was over. All final year student were given newsletter which contained details of our next payments and how it should be done. We celebrated Christmas but, like any normal Christmas we didn't travel my dad said he couldn't afford to spend much due to the heavy payment that awaits him thereafter and having my school pay list was another thing.

I got gift from friends, family and lovers you must already be thinking that I don't have a love life well,I did, it just that I am the type who has something called "commitment issues"and I never felt like I needed it, I mostly see it as something I wanted especially when I see people being all romantic and displaying PDA.

Going back to school to start the next academic season is so stressful, joining the fact that I am somehow getting sick and tired of having to attend classes, having to see the same faces everyday and also the fact that I had to tolerate some people's mannerless attitude but the only thing that kept me sane is my friends, the people I placed high

Just like every normal school,the first week is dedicated to clean up and everyone looking fresh,new, classes being and teachers not even bothering to teach. So I decided to stay at home for the first week, guess I later regretted that decision because my mother used that great opportunity which she saw to make my life a living hell. More chores and more farm work,so all I had to do is to pray that the week runs fast so I could get back to school and give my body a rest.

 

On Saturday, during the stay at home period, am home doing not but surfing the web when I came across a new scholarship program for a school in Thailand and the best part is there were no need for international examination (ACT,SAT, IELTS,TOEFL,etc) so am kinda excited to check it out. I clicked on the link below to go through the school status, check the courses the were offering scholarship and the eligibility status and surprisely the were offering undergraduates scholarship, that's not even the best part,the best part is my couser is available in the list of courses. Not every day you come across schools offering those course Abroad so I quickly filled the available forms and putted down my E-mail so they could contact me on the next step to take .

Almost every scholarship I apply for never reply or even contact me even if they did it won't Pass that level or I won't be selected as one of the applicants to be offered that particular scholarship due to I lacked some qualifications. But I didn't lose hope, instead ,I kept on hoping on God, that one would see my name and choose me.

Monday is finally here,I woke up around that kind six in the morning and going to school always took me two drops,am actually talking about public transport because as you may already know I didn't come from a rich family were you had cars and drivers and school bus wasn't an option, not like it isn't good it's just that I didn't like it . I know you would be asking if I won't be late for school, there's something people don't know about me and that's the fact that I do my chores at midnight so in the morning I had nothing to do just to sweep,mop,bath, eat and then leave for school. You see nothing much,as for washing dishes and clothes,I do that after school and it's not everyday I sock myself into washing clothes.

Reaching school,made my way to my class,sat down on my seat,fixed my locker by putting my books in it then I eye searched for my friends, noticing that none of them is in school I decided to rest my head, I just didn't have the urge or strength to go greet people. I had a lot on my mind especially the E-mail I got this morning,am happy the replied me but there response is a hard nut to crack.

The told me to write an essay on the achievement I have or had,I should also write on the benefit the would get if the admitted me and what I plan to do after my studies. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I couldn't write an essay, it's just that some of the questions had other meanings to them and what do they mean by achievement? Were they talking about awards cause am lost. It's not like I had any achievement that I could boast of at least not in this school were there are soo many rich kids that there parents could work this out for them with money.

       " Ooh God, please, what should I do now".

Maybe a little nap help, yeah, I might figure out what to do with a cool head.
