My Grandma and her brilliant Student.
Hello read Stars, happy Sunday to you all. Yesterday night, i was kind of insomniac due to the heat from the environment. Some states in my country have begin experiencing much rains, but here in the state where i live, we are still experiencing summer. As i went to my bed, wanted to sleep, but could not just sleep due the displeasing hotness in my room. All windows were opened, all curtains were raised up, but my eyes refused to close. What worsened the case was that there wasn't electricity at all, simply no light, i would have put fan on. As this continued, and with my face facing the ceiling, i began to reminisce my past experiences and leisure time i had with people, many came into my head. The one i enjoyed most was the time i had with my grandma, the lovely moment with her was so nice, she is a story teller, and i use to enjoy my time with her.
There was an evening she told me about Mrs Clara. She told me how they started, and the numerous fine qualities and characters contained in her. The story will be the base of my today's article. Please take note.
In my Grandma's house.
Without wasting time, and going straight to the point, early this year i visited my Grandma, and i decided to pass a night at her place, that evening as we had finished eating our dinner, we had some gists, I love discussing with her, i always want to gain from her wealth of experience. I'm the type that love asking questions when i see the need, so that evening, i looked at her and said Grandma, "How is Mrs Clara to you?", she smiled and said Son! if i will tell you how she is to me, i will like you to pay much attention so that you can learn from this, because it really worth learning from. I nod my head first, then spoke saying "ok Mama, no problem, i will.
The story.
She began the story and said, you see Clara who i took as one of my daughters? Hmmmm! Let me start from here, when i was a Principal (head of all the teachers) in the high school where Clara was a student, she was a very intelligent girl, her brilliancy was indeed noteworthy, she has always led her class since she came into our school, i mean number one of the class with outstanding academic performance. In her second year, she represented our school in Mathematics competition for the junior category, where she came out as the best in the state, and third position in the country. When they arrived from the competition, i rejoiced with them, in fact, celebrated her well, then called her personally, and encouraged her to put more effort, i told her there was no limit to what she could achieve if she put more effort, and be well determined, coupled with the fact that she's someone i could call genus. So, she appreciated, and increase the gear of her studies. It was now known widely among all the teachers that Clara's has really geared up not only in mathematics but in all subjects. To cut the story short, when she got to third year in school, that is, Junior secondary school three (JSS3), she respected our school again, she became the best in the state and in the Nation. Many gifts were brought to school, some Money were given to her by the ministry of education. In fact, she really made us proud.
When she was now preparing for her junior WAEC, (the exam she needed to pass to proceed to the senior school), it was very painful her both parents got involved in a fatal accident on the same day, with their car, they were both rushed to the hospital, the doctors tried their best, but unfortunately they could not survive the accident, they both died.😢
Oh, that's really sad how Clara's parents passed away. Good thing your grandma was there to care for her
