Rosalyn has gotten home with a new determination. She has a point to prove. She is charging herself with her anger. Success or failure is not in her hands but one thing she can do is try.
Her grandfather used to say to her “One can do anything if one works for it”
This advice of him has gotten her out of very tough situations.
A memory came to her mind when she was in High school. She thought she was going to fail the final mathematics exam. She didn’t pay attention in class. Her sole attention used to be on Anthony who used to sit 2 rows back from her.
She was panicking the night before the exam and her grandfather saw her anxiety come to her.
“What happened Rosalyn?”
“Grandpa I am going to fail this exam. They are going to hold me back. All of my classes will go to the next grade. Meanwhile, I am going to stay back. They are going to make fun of me”
Fresh tears start coming out of her eyes. Grandpa put his hand on her shoulder.
