Every blessed September of the year brings forth a new school year. Every child sees the good and the bad side of it depending on their situation. Perhaps some see only the shopping part to get new school stuff while others anticipate new teachers, friends, new schools and a whole new era.
As for me... it's gonna be different.
Last year was a total mess on my part. So I've gotta make up for that. To my family my results were a shame. I have taken responsibility of that and moved forward.
These holidays I went for catch up classes which will help me prepare for the next class.
Furthermore, I'm gonna be in an examination class so I've gotta choose my priorities right if I have to make it.

'Okay breathe in, breathe out. We're good. I put on my new pair of boots my mom got for me, my school bag has rollers so I'll just let it trail behind me. My uniform is well Ironed...I'm good'.
I left for school really early for the first impression. I was greeted by our wicked looking gate man which even asked me to go back home because I was too early. I was like 'What the hell!'
I was so baffled by his response there I was left frozen on the spot with a shocked look on my face. I always thought that coming to school is never too early...well I was wrong then.
My look just changed when I saw him arriving. In a big shiny car, he looked sharp and dashing. I think he also gave it his all for the first day.
Then it happened to me just to smile at what the gate man will tell him...but it happened otherwise...just a slip of a thousand francs and he was in school.
I was heart broken to see what my country looked like from the inside; corrupt.
As I wanted to sit somewhere in front of the school to wait for those who do not have money to bribe for being early to come, he called out for me and asked why I am not coming in. Well I didn't have much to say so I just went in. From the instant I got in under his watchful gaze, the gate man sneered at me from there I knew this will be a hell of a year.

School's back. I just have to do my thing again this year. I'll just play it distant 'cuz I really want to pass my first official exam this year.
My hair cut is okay, my breath, I smell damn good so I'm okay.
