RIGHT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BY LYDIA OGUNLOLA. FINAL CHAPTER

By Lex Posimi
Days passed by fast with me studying day and night. I studied with Junieboy in the library and I knew more about him. He told me how he went to an all boy's school and has never related with the opposite gender unless of course his mum and sister. Also, I knew he loves chocolates maybe a little bit more than I do and we took lots of it during our exercise.
I managed to cover all the syllabus and I knew I was good to go for the examination.
A day before the examination, Junieboy and Dolly travelled to their various examination centre. I was so upset Dolly and I didn't get to write exam in the same centre.
We sat for the examination and I resisted the urge to start dancing when I saw the questions. They were so simple. I finished my paper and decided to call Dolly and Junieboy. We all shared our opinions about the examination. After the call, I left the examination centre. The result was to come out in three days time.

"This is unbelievable! " Mr. Bob was the first to talk holding something that looks like a result in his hand.
The result was to come out today and I received a call early in the morning to show up at the tutorial office. I had no idea what's going on. I met Mr.Alfred and Mr.Bob together with a female teacher I greeted the three of them.
"I have always known " Mr. Alfred said with a knowing smile,eyes fixed on me.
"Excuse me?" I asked confused
"Congratulations! Lily, you came up with the highest score in the examination" Mr. Alfred said to my surprise.
"Huh?" I opened my mouth but nothing came out looking at the smiling teachers before me.
"Hello,anyone here?" Mr. Alfred joked calling my attention to his outstretched hand which I took with great happiness.
Ouch! My face is going to break from smiling so much.
"You could have done better than this but your level of seriousness is very low due to laziness. The first time I saw you at the tutorial centre I knew you were the bright student from Morning Star Secondary School, am I right?" Mr.Alfred asked
I was short of words at this revelation
I just nod twice like a lizard
"But I was surprised when I saw your performances in the tutorial classes. That's when I figured you are out of service and you need a little push" he continued
"I'm sorry if I was a little bit harsh with my words " He finally said
It took sometimes before his words finally registered
"Thank you sir,you don't know what you have done" I said smiling
"So Lily,the main reason why we called you is to tell you this good news that the organiser of this tutorial promised to return the tutorial fee to anyone that has the highest score" Mr Bob said as he handed me the sum of #20,000 which I accepted gracefully before skipping out of the office with gratitude.

"I can't wait to share the good news with my friends and family. Janet will be so Jealous" was the last thought on my mind before I opted for a run.




THE END💕

THE PARABLE OF ISOLATION

By
PARABLE OF ISOLATION Here we are With untold stories: Stories scarring our inner minds, Uncertainties fill our hearts. The intensity of our mood grows.  We were told to stay safe at home But we seem not to be doing enough. Today isn't assured Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Coronavirus, the fear giver We reverence you in sacred dread A hand enveloped in the pocket  Sanitizer in the other. The visitor that takes over houses In the presence of the house owners. We walk on the streets in dread  The fear of meeting the giver of discomfort The fear of entering that forbidden house That house where solitude is celebrated That house, home of isolation. The fear of meeting the multiplier of troubles. Stay safe if you don't want to be isolated. Here we are Uncertain of what happens next  Oh ye plague! We await your eternal demise.

YOUR LIFE IS YOUR BEST INSPIRATION

                     This is not a piece of discouragement to those who depends on or trust inspirational books, speeches or videos as source of inspiration, but it is to open our eyes to the realities of our existence and to help us discover and unveil our divine intellect,capabilities and abilities . Circumstances, occurrences and situations(Good or Bad) that can be traced and attached to our livelihood(Our existence) are the things that make us up, they define us and they make up what we call our lives. Why are we human beings if our individual lives can not inspire us, many of us depends on other people' words or speech to inspire our own life, but majority of us having listened to, seen or read inspirational materials still fails to change ,we hear and read but it has no visible effect(s) on our lives, we are not living it.
