Transformation

Students gathered in the class Patiently awaiting their pass The teacher received the envelope at the door While some students took the floor Silence suddenly enveloped the room The moment announcements began to loom My turn arrived without compromise MJS she read out to my surprise Shattered into a billion pieces Since I was confident that I landed my first or second choices The negative perceptions began flooding my judgment At the same time I struggled to imagine myself in this new environment Despite my disappointment I had to regain my composure For my priority now resided in obtaining closure Did not desire to fall victim to the vicious public views “Junior Sec” students always enjoy the cruise Although I spent the full three years at this foundation Attempts were made for a transfer to a prestigious institution However each effort proved futile Leaving me on the MJS file One time, the principal of a prestige advised me to recede Claiming the entrance examination was extremely difficult for me to gain a lead Her words had affected me deeply And had etched a permanent place in my memory What a stepping stone she created for me Cause that day I signed a success treaty While peer pressure penetrated every lane of my track I did everything in my power to evade the slack Excellence at graduation This is an accomplished mission
