As always, I woke up the same as everyday stretching my legs off my bed and onto the floor, my arms raised up grazing the ceiling. My body was exhausted even though I had a good sleep.

When I opened the window, the glittering sunrays started spreading various hues of shiny silvers and golds, I somehow felt butterflies, this beautiful morning was telling me in various ways, that today is a new beginning.

Few minutes later, the aroma of coffee being freshly brewed kissed my nose but I had no right to taste it..It wasn't coming from my kitchen. Since that aroma woke me with ease, I got up, and prepared my own breakfast because no one can do it for me...

While enjoying my cereals, I had a notification on my phone, I was extremely surprised, you might be wondering why.. Well I have no friends, and my life has been always that way.

Once I checked the email messages, my spirit brightened and happiness glowed inside me, I, Elen Casser, was accepted in the polytechnic university "Ivy University " the most popular, reputable and known university here in England. At that time, I heard a voice saying " Keep shining" , and that's the right time when I can shine.

I directly packed my things and wrote a short letter informing my parents about it , I definitely know that they won't read it until the night comes but still they will have an idea about it.

I printed the certificate that the University sent in the email box so I can enter the building, bought all the things needed and left the house. I felt that I'm finally released from a prison, I felt somehow happy to be so high above the world, -a childish feeling, I grant. I had my freedom... Freedom! But what is freedom for? Happiness is only in loving and wishing her wishes, thinking her thoughts, that is to say, not freedom at all -That's happiness! But do I know her ideas, her wishes, her feelings? Some voice suddenly whispered to me. The smile died away from my face, and I grew thoughtful. And a strange feeling came upon me. A dread and doubt, a doubt of everything. My happiness couldn't last long because unconsciously I remembered my parents' life rule, they have never considered me, never asked about me, never cared about me, and never let me do what I love.

Getting away from them won't solve this critical problem that I live with since my birth.They will stay as protective and strict as they are now, or even more, who knows. Since that day.. I expect the worst from them.

I was down in the mouth just by thinking about that, but once contemplating the picturesque and paronamic view around me, I felt a surge of happiness , my mood lifted and I remembered that I can shine and bright like a diamond.
