I woke up lazily from the bed after I got the constant ringing of the alarm clock beside the bed, gosh! how I hate that sound, but what can I do, it always keeps me awake, but today is Saturday, which means I have it all to myself and it's also my day off, although I work on Saturdays. I stood up at the window and view the atmosphere around the neighborhood, it was sparkly and beautiful due to the heavy rain of last night everyone was moving from one place to another, chatting and greeting each other, I was still gazing at the whole neighborhood when suddenly I heard my mom's voice from the kitchen, I hurry to the bathroom to freshen up and then came out to meet her setting the dining table.
"good morning Mom". I greeted her cheerfully and planted a kiss on her cheek before sitting down.
" good morning dear, hope you slept well?.she asked smilingly lovely as she was dishing the food to my plate of scrambled eggs, with two toasted bread and a glass of Orange juice.
"wow Mom, this looks delicious, I can't wait to dig in" I took a scoop of the eggs in my mouth, it tasted just the way I like it, did I tell you my mom makes amazing scrambled eggs, snacks ever, she is the best when it comes to baking, oh, how I love her pancakes.
"you never get old in saying that, you know I always make these exact scrambled eggs for you every breakfast time".
" I know Mom, you know I can never get tired of your delicious and amazing food, you know I love complimenting you".
"and I never got tired of your compliment" we giggle .so, you will be coming with me to the shop, right?" she asked.
"yes I will, is not like I have anything to do at home," I said and I could see the glamour on her face....About an hour later we arrived at the shop which was a 20klm drive from our house, I help my mom in arranging the chairs and tidy up the whole place as she was in the kitchen making enough snacks for the day, how I love coming to help my mom in her shop because I got a lot of tips from her customers who admire my beauty, they all say I look as beautiful as my mom, which they didn't lie, my mom has this epitome of beauty, she has this amazing light skin that glitter, with her gold-brown hair that matches with her eyes, pink sexy lips, everything was perfect with her, the beauty runs in the family and I happened to inherit from it, despite my mom been forty years of age she still looks like eighteen years old girl.....not too long after, everywhere was filled up with customers, I was busy attending and serving them with two other people my mom employed in the shop. After a long, while the news came up from the plasma TV that was hung on the wall, everyone turns their gaze to the TV and a young elegant newscaster started talking about vally college offering a free scholarship to anyone that passes their exams, I couldn't hide my joy and I could see my mom was amazed too. valley college is the best college ever, it has been everyone's dream to be in that school and I guessed I won't let this opportunity slip off my fingers.
Two days later, I was busy reading and going from one library to another, burning the midnight oil, my friend, Sonia sometimes help me with some questions to prepare my brain, she was excited to see I participated in the exam, I tried asking her to join, but she declined, but I can't blame her, that's one thing about her, she likes been simple and keep things cool to her level, but me, no, I always aim to highest, who doesn't love being popular. after a week I went to the cyber cafe to take the exam since it was done on the net, a code was given to us, and the instruction to follow, everything was monitored which means no cheating or bypassing because they monitor you through your details on your profile.
