I've been in New York for 3 days now and throughout this period of time I've went grocery shopping and familiarize myself with the city,New York is definitely beautiful.

Anyway, today is the day of the interview and I was a nervous wreck! What if they don't take me? What if they don't like my accent? Urggh! I pushed all my thoughts aside and got out the bed and walked into the bathroom, is it me or does the cold bathroom floor in the morning annoy everyone ? I honestly hate it. I brushed my teeth and took a shower, after  I dried myself and put lotion on my body , after I was done I did my hair and makeup. I decided to go with a more natural look, I was going to an interview after all. I walked out the bathroom and walked to my wardrobe searching for something to wear,I decided on a simple black dress that reached below my knees and I paired that with a white blazer, white Chanel purse and white heels. I looked good, if I do say so myself.I still had an hour until the interview so I ate breakfast, after that I called my brother. His phone rang twice before I heard his voice through the phone

"Sister, kunjani?" (Sister, how are you?) he answered the phone with so much excitement.

"I'm good brother" I said chuckling at his excitement

"We miss you Nana, it feels like years since you left." he says sounding down.

"Maps its been a few weeks! But I miss you guys too and I promise to visit home every now and then whenever I get a chance" I said trying to uplift his mood.

"You better little girl, are you ready for the interview? Did you do research on the company like I told you to do so? Did you practice your posture last night?" he said throwing questions at me.

"I did brother! " I laughed at him "but I can't help but be nervous" I said while playing with my nails

"Don't be Nana, you'll do fine. Walk into that building and show them what the Gaffley's are made of" he said trying to ease the stress off me

"Thank you brother, I'll call you and tell you how the interview went when I get back home. I love you and say hey to my niece and nephew" I said grabbing my bag and keys heading towards the door

"Okay Nana, good luck and I love you too. Bye!" he then hung up

I locked my door and tossed the keys along with my phone in my purse. I took the stairs downstairs and walked out the building, I took a taxi to the company. I arrived in front of this huge building made out of glass, I looked up and examined how tall it was,the view must be sickening from the top floor. I walked inside the building and was greeted by men and women walking around, I guess it's a busy day. I walked to the reception table

"G-Good morning ma'am, I'm Amanda Gaffley and I am here for the interview" I said my voice shaking a little

"Oh! Go to the 15th floor and it should be evident as to where you should go next" she said with a bored tone
