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
