My college struggle as an African-Nigerian

√ Chapter 2 √

       My alarm rang 4:00am on the dot , immediately I fell from my bed yelling in pains

but I was too sleepy so I went back to bed still feeling the pains ahhhh!!!

it's hasn't been long I slept back ahhh I screamed in my mind as my mom turned on the light ,my room is a typical girls room , it was decorated by me with all my drawings and with a little touch of colours and some motivational quotes hanging right on my closet and my walls it's looks so perfect , that's the way I like my room ,my brothers always want to stay in my room because of how beautiful and nice it was ,I sometimes yell at them saying

" Can't you all just stay in your room " then my baby brother would say " come on Bianca your room is always on point we love it in here"

my mom actually woke me up by 5:00am

"Bianca it's very important to wake up early so you can plan your day while others are sleeping ,you can go to school early to reverse before anyone gets into the class " says my mom . I did my morning chores ' in my family it's a tradition to do at least one chore before leaving for school "

after doing my chores I prepare myself for school , finally I was done and my mom dropped me at school ; as soon as I entered the school premises my watch made a sound which says it was 6:50 "phew" I took a deep breath and said right on time , because I had to submit my physics homework before 8:00am.

I just love my teacher miss Melissa ,if we had so much encouraging teachers like her hmmm everyone would love learning ,she can discipline and just like she would teach and make sure you understood what ever she was teaching .

actually classes starts 8:00am too ,we had Biology as the first subject ,it was really fun but not as fun as physics class .

It was lunch time so I had to see the school counscilor about some subject I decided to drop , because of my choice of career .

"Phew" wow councilors can talk ,hmmm I was just stuck there listening to every bit of what she was saying ,at some point I got bored then she noticed I wasn't listening then she said we are going to talk about this another day " Bianca Williams you know you are such a unique girl so don't give up now just keep on striving " says councilor Skyler

I was about going back to my class when I remembered I would love to apply for the prefectship "Health prefect will suit me well I said to myself ".

Before I got to High Camp royal Academy I made a resolution saying "I will be one of the best student of this school .

Back in the class we had math , I guess this will be different ,I will try my best to do well in math this section , sometimes I wonder why math even exist because I don't know if I'm the only one who dislike math this much but things had changed I love math this section that's why i said alot will be different this section

what I wanted the most is to be a senior but it's kind of freaking me out already ,what I dreamt of senior year it's not what am seeing now ,

'Yeah I was just sitting just enjoying my snacks because it's free period when Tony came' saying "hey shorty what's you doing?" whoa I said " what's your problem ,I no be your mate oo" ( I'm not your mate oh ) ,well he continued talking

" I'm Tony Mike it's nice meeting you " , "ahhhhhh so na Intro you won be dey do and you dey call me shorty " ( ahh so is intro you wanted doing and you are calling me shorty ) I said and laughed

"anyway am Bianca Williams nice to meet you" I said and stretch out my hands for a hand shake

well Tony Mike seem to be nice and jovial I had noticed him

" always making people laugh" and the teachers at High Camp royal Academy always deal with him because he doesn't seems to be attentive so all eyes were always on him because his mom was a teacher here .

being an SS 3 students at high Camp royal Academy you will see alot ,that's when the struggle will start ,the struggle of craving college life when you aren't even done with your SS 3 section ,there will be competition ; there will be haters ,

there will be people who pretend to love you , sometimes it's perchance ,

I feel like a failure but now I get it ,so I will just do it over and over again until i get it right .

I just got to high Camp royal Academy and they have started morning extra moral lesson they call it "The morning clinic " which start 6:30 and you dare not miss it if not hmmm principal Steven will deal with you so badly so no student joke with it , today I was actually late that's why I got to school 6:50 I wasn't beaten or punished because I know how to pank teachers .

Back home today I was really tired ,my body was aching I was looking all hungry like someone who hasn't eaten closed to a week

as I sat on the floor in the sitting room avoiding the dinning table because I just want to balance and free my bodies ,I didn't mentioned this after school everyday we still have another evening lesson sections

"omo e be like say na only najia we dey face this kind thing "

( is like is only in Nigeria we face such thing)

imagine Writing Waec ,Neco and jamb then almighty post-utme .

hmmmmm huh I made a little noise as my month was full of rice and beans my favorite food , sometimes I just wish my life can be that of those highschool girls I watch on Disney ,just how many days i'm already tired

"Bianca!!!!!! Bianc!!"

"maaaaaa "

"Why you looking like a helpless baby chick "

"mom i'm really tired , onye n'uwa na-edobe umuaka n'ulo akwukwo rue 5:00pm "

( who on earth keep kids at school till 5:00pm)

I said in Igbo and my mom looked at in shock .

"Bianca ị na-amalite na ị na-eme mkpesa" ( you are just starting and you are already complaining )

she says and hugged me

"it's okay you will get through this ,but don't turn my house to eating hut see how you kept the cup what if visitor just enter they will say we are dirty people "

 she said looking at me then I started smiling in a mischievous way .
