Back in Mr Good will Johnson's house, a house well beautified with flowers, and have a swimming pool, being the best house in the neighborhood, Sharon is in her bedroom packing few things she would need during the competition, when her mother knocked and entered, "hi Mom", "Sharon, hope you are well prepared?" Sharon's mother asked, "we can't afford to see you lose to anyone", Mrs Rachel Johnson added, Sharon zipped her bag and turned to her mother, " I have never failed you and Dad, and I will not start now, besides I promised Dad that I will do well and I will", " okay, my darling, daddy and I are so proud of you, if you are through with everything, come downstairs and have your breakfast, your dad is waiting", she said, "sure, why not, let's go, Mum", Sharon said as she carried her bag downstairs with her mom, her face is seen beaming with smile.

After the breakfast, Mr Johnson and her daughter Sharon left in their Camry car for the competition.

**************************

At the Hall, every contestant have already lined up to sit according to their registration number, Sharon is seen sitting at the first row with her registration number tag #10 with the rest of the contestants total of 500. People from different places tuned in their channels to connect to the competition, as Sophia watched from their hotel room as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Few minutes before the phase one of the competition, Mr Stanley stood to make a brief introduction about the competition, " greetings ladies and gentlemen, we're so happy to have you all here today to witness the Brain competition that holds once in a year, this competition helps children and students develop their vocabularies, and that is the essence of it. Today, we are going into the phase one of this competition through which we will select 100 finalists for the phase of the competition and in the phase two, we will just select the ten best to compete, and we choose the winners from there". After looking around to see if everyone had their attention on what he was saying, he continued, "so contestants, we will now make a brief self introduction before I will tell the rules of this competition, contestant 1?", "Sarah Debbah is my name", "you are welcome, contestant 2?" " I am David Daniels", "you are welcome, cont....", he was still about to call the next contestant when he was interrupted by a crippled man on a wheelchair who was brought up through the stairs by strong young men, " this competition is made to help children with their education precisely, there's no rules of this competition that says that some children are meant to participate while some are not, whether physically challenged or not, every child should be given the same privilege in this competition, but you judges out of your wickedness have denied the physically challenged children such privilege", "who the hell are you, mister, and how dare you barge into this hall and speak with such insolence?", Mrs Johnson asked out of anger, " well, I am Mr Robert, as you can see, I am crippled, two years ago, I came with my two daughters to register them for this competition, but couldn't because there was no elevator, and when I managed to meet one of the judges, they denied me the registration saying that it will be difficult as they will advice me to go home. The truth is, no one enjoys suffering, I was born crippled, begging along the street, as a father, I beg to get money to support my family. I am a graduate of civil engineering but could not get a job because of prejudice in this country, every office I enter, they tell me that I am physically fit for the job, all my life, I have had only one prayer request, to be able to stand on both my feet, if I could, then I have nothing else to ask for. Do you know, if these physically challenged children are given the same privilege as others, they will be the happiest of them all, that very moment when they are well accepted and treated as same with other children, they will not remember their problems, just that very moment, but prejudice will not allow it, this is the height of wickedness, man's wickedness against man, wickedness in the highest level", he said tearfully, " get out this minute before I call the security on you, security! security!! get this crippled out of this place this minute", shouted Mrs Jeobor who couldn't tolerate all this anymore.

Mr Robert was carried out by the security men called, and the noise in the hall was calmed, while the competition began.
