Angel's POV.
After I promised my mom, I prayed to God to help me to fulfill the promise that I had made.
I studied harder. By then, I was in the 12th grade. I joined the press club at my school, I later became the president of the press club.
I became a child right advocate. I was the president of the Children's Parliament. I had this dream since I was little. I felt happier each time, I positively impacted my friends and society.
It was two months to WASSEC. I was worried and afraid. I was afraid to fail my mother, sister Agnes, and my community.
I prayed for God's direction. Luckily for me, I got in contact with the dux of WASSEC 2019/2020, Blessings Jalieba. She was an alumni of St. Teresa Convent, by then she was in Singapore studying to obtain her master.
She tutored me for the remaining two months. She taught me to have faith in myself and to believe in my dreams. She taught me to never give up on dreams. Mom blessed me before the WASEC.
After I sat the WASSCE( West African Senior School Certificate Examination) I was anxious to hear the, result.
Mom and I went to visit sister Agnes. We were sitting in the living room listing to ELBC radio. The minister of education announced that WASSEC result would be given in a few minutes.
I was afraid, I ran to the bathroom. The reporter called the names of schools that did well and the schools that failed WASSCE.
Out of a sudden I heard my name as the dux of WASSEC. I couldn't get over what, I heard.
Sister Agnes and Mom were excited. They dance as a sign of joy. The president of Liberia called my principal to allow him to have an interview with me.
After the interview, everyone wanted to know me, and befriend me. I befriended few of them. I knew that being announced as the dux of the country, was not an easy task. I knew I had to study harder not only for my family this time, but for my country.
The president offer me a scholarship at Oxford University. The University of my dreams. The president of Liberia, promised to sponsor me though out my studies, at Oxford University.
I was excited. I couldn't get over the love of God towards me.
