Chapter three
Finally, Ember was sent a message to come for an interview after a successful review of her MBBS Application, she was nervous and excited as soon as she saw the message on her phone that she couldn't help but put up a howl, the loud noise made her parent took to their heels to where she was to know if she was fine.
"Ember are you okay," her mum and dad said in synchronicity as her mum tried to pick up Ember's phone to know what was wrong because she was pointing at her phone she dropped out of excitement when they asked her if she was okay.
United Kindom has always been her dream university because the UK has the forefront rank together with the USA according to universities' global classification, the flexibility of study in the country and so many other reasons.
Her Application to her dream university which is the University of Oxford which is 5th ranked globally, was declined when she first applied and it made her so unhappy but alas she later comes to terms with "All disappointment is a blessing", and she can give it another try next time she thought to her self. Not being successful in her first trial made her so overwhelmed when she saw the message that invited her for the interview. in her first trial, the school didn't even call her for an interview, so she believes that this time around her Application will be successful.
As soon as her mum saw the message she shrieked in her excitement and chanted "this is a call for celebration because I know the interview is not going to be a problem this time around Dr Ember" she proclaims as she caresses her daughter's head.
When her mum mentioned "Dr Ember" her dad quickly get what was happening as he rejoiced with his family. A few weeks later she went for the interview and it went well.
"I'm sorry mum and dad for startling you guys, I couldn't hold back" Ember Apologised.
Her parents told her there was no need for her to apologise because anyone will do the same if there were in her shoes.
Days After the interview she decided to take herself out to have fun in Yosemite National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mother Nature's most striking creation, the Yosemite Valley is surrounded by sheer granite cliffs and domes that were carved by glaciers millions of years ago. When John Muir discovered Yosemite in the 1860s, he described it as the "grandest of all special temples of Nature" and helped to establish the area as a protected national park.
She stumbled across one of her high school classmates named Grace so they exchanged pleasantries.
"It's been a while Ember," She said as they hugged each other.
"I'm not surprised to see you in a place like this Ember," she said in an utterly deadpan.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I love nature so much" she replied, as she chuckled.
"Do you still remember the physics teacher that always gives us assignments and if one fails to do his assignments will get detention?" grace said, as they both bursts into laughter.
"I don't like him at all he is so mean, I don know why he expected everyone to be good in physics. If I must confess that subject is boring" grace said darting her eyes.
"I prefer biology to physics because it is quite an interesting topic and some of the topics are practical in the sense that they can be applied in our day-to-day activities" Ember nagged crossing her arm over her chest.
"I agree with you on this one" she commented as she stamped her feet on the floor as a sign of agreement.
"Which university are you studying?" Ember asked looking through her binoculars to view things from afar.
"I am studying Economists here in California and what about you?" She inquired as she looks curious.
Ember told her everything that happened concerning her school kinds of stuff so Grace prayed that the Interview will be her first and last. Ember was also invited by grace to her aunt's naming ceremony, and she accepted the invite and assured her she will be there. They both later went for a tour around the national park and took so many pictures Before they both parted ways.
As she got home that day Ember was surprised as her parents threw a surprise party for her, though it was only for families few of them attended, she was happy though but she told her parents why they couldn't just wait a little longer for the D Day to cut the story short they all enjoyed the party and were all entertained.
***********************
"Hi Ember you made it to my aunt's naming ceremony, come with me" she requested as she holds ember's hands.
"Hi, Grace, why are you surprised I'm here after all I assured you that I was going to come," she said with a cocky wink.
"You know you haven't been too lively ever since the demise of your best friend Alima, I know she is in a good place now," Grace said while rubbing her forehead.
"Yeah! I know but I'm healed now and also let it go but she will forever be here in my heart," Ember said in a relieved tone.
She took her to go say hi to her aunt before taking her to where some of her high school schoolmates were, they were all happy to see her because During their high school days she was a loving and trouble-free person.
Ember was so happy to see her coursemates, she stayed there much longer than planned because of them, they all had fun together and wished it never ends.
