Day 84

A Mother's Love

"To whom much is given much is expected" the exact words my mum told me before I left home October 17th 2005, these words have being a guiding stone to me for the past 5 years, she always tells me Ehireme as she fondly calls me you know your my only son please whatever you do, do not get into trouble. The thought of her black knees which is caused by her everyday kneeling down to pray for her family always guided me too, I remember her once telling me even though it means me selling all my clothes to keep you comfortable I will.

I woke up due to the sounds from the public address system saying: this is the last list of chapel defaulters come and check your names and report to the chapel for 0800hours, my mind was racing please tell me my name is not there one more time. I rushed downstairs to check, I was glad when I couldn’t find my name then bad luck as usual came crawling by my friend told me I had being looking at the wrong list that my name was on the second list and that I had defaulted six times!!!!1 imagine that, it meant more than trouble only Gods grace could save me from this one.

I ironed and rushed to the chapel on getting there I discovered I had being pinked again and a class was holding there so myself and a friend rushed for breakfast, while waiting for yam and stew to be ready, my eyes were glued to the television screen, then I started hearing movements boys, kids, men to be running as if the world was coming to an end, my friend asked me Ehi what do you think is going on then for a moment neurons rushed once more to my brain then I realized they had been informed to come over to the cafeteria for the meeting and they were all running to get front seats, immediately my friend and I rushed over to get our seats without having breakfast.

After waiting for about two hours we were spoken to by the dean of student Affairs who told us to divide ourselves to our different halls of residence, there was a rush again and this time I did not make front roll where forms were given out to students. I could not be fooled again after staying till about 2345hours the day before, I set back to my room for good rest, had some snacks while watching Gossip girl which has become so twisted till about 1800hours when it was time for me to go and receive my verdict concerning my stay in this school.
On getting to my destination I found out people had been separated into two just like how the goats will be separated from the sheep on judgement day, I quickly ran up the stage to know my fate and finally the BOOK was open, I had already started reading the ladies lips and she confirmed I had signed, you are cleared those were her exact words I actually wanted to hug her but I will have being charged for overt sexual gesture..Lol.
My day had being fulfilled and crowned with joy, because I had not disappointed myself or my mum. If I was not actually cleared 4 weeks suspension will have being hanging around my neck. Finally I went to the chapel to thank His holy name because everything was done for me according to His grace upon my life. The End
