[ Yes! I made it! ]

"And our Valedictorian for this year 2021 goes to..

Everyone waited in anticipation for the first-class scholar to be announced.

A valedictorian is the scholar with the very best rank of the whole graduating class.

The honor is historically based on grade factor average and credits taken.

A individual with the very best grades in all of the subjects is considered as a Valedictorian.

It was the day of graduation and am simply excited as every person here. After years of schooling, am in the end completing.

Rhoda and I stated silent prayers and smiled optimistically at every other.

I and my friend, Rhoda, has always wanted for that title and we've constantly labored tough for it.

Though am happy to be a First Class scholar, my own circle of relatives will be a lot happier if my name ought to be mentioned.

Am Leona Grande, the second child and the only daughter my mother gave birth to earlier than passing on. My dad got remarried to Tasha and they had three children, all girls.

So in all, we are a family of seven. Four girls and one boy.

I'm from a decrease class family, not wealthy at all.

My dad is a fashion designer however his enterprise was not doing all too properly due to the fact all of the cash was invested into my education.

Having a jobless step mum made it worse because the weight was on dad alone.

The other three girls dropped out of primary school while my eldest brother, Raymond, only finished high school.

So you can believe, I was an investment to my family considering all the income went into my education. My family is being pressured to live a slight and easy way of life all due to my education.

For that, I'll continually be indebted to all members.

I'm not the regular teenage girl who chats and gossips about boys all of the time.

My existence became completely different: that is, mentally, psychologically, bodily and emotionally.

My red platinum hair became overgrown because I had no time to trim it at the salon and it was nearly under my butt whenever I lose it. Other than that, it was usually wrapped on my head.

I was under the "no boyfriend" coverage and my dad always ensure that I wasn't visible around any of them, despite the fact that I was 19 years.

I had no time to use makeups or put on stunning clothes. I was always cladded in dwindled denim trousers with diminished hoodies.

Well, let's assume all the few clothes I had were all diminished because of immoderate use.

Being a future breadwinner or should I say, caretaker or heir, which ever way, it wasn't an smooth task.

I was always the serious type, usually locked up indoors with my books. All I do is study, study and study.

I was a First Class nerd, best that I don't make use of those unpleasant spectacles.

I only pop out to eat and go back.

Throughout my high school I had no friend.

I constantly walk alone regardless of that, my grades kept me famous since I was always awarded the first-class scholar.

It was in college that I met Rhoda. She was from an incredibly rich family and I don't know why she could befriend a church mouse like me.

Anyways, I'm nevertheless happy she's my buddy and I like her a lot.

After graduation, I ought to search for an excellent work with a handsome pay so that I can take over duty and repay my dad, send my half sisters back to school and additionally assist my brother to college.

It wouldn't had been me if my brother had finished well in highschool. Am glad that he constantly helps me in anyway he could.

My step mother, Tasha, was pretty a headache and her three girls are also some thing else, particularly the eldest who's referred to as Elsie.

I do not blame both of them.

All the same, I'm glad my half sisters made it to my graduation.

My dad and Tasha could not come because they choose watching it on the TV.

I looked around and admired the lovely educational robes we were wearing.

I cannot wait to throw my cap out into the air...

"And the Valedictorian goes to none other than our very own, Miss Leona Grande."

The MC's voice brought me back from the wondering I was doing.

The entire graduands cheered and chanted my name wildly.

I could not believe it. I looked over at Rhoda and she smiled and nodded.

My eyes darted to the gold medal and I simply teared up.

Oh Lord! I made it!

The cheering was so loud that I can believe my father doing a victory dance back home.

With this award, I don't need to go attempting to find work because the authorities is gonna hire me instantly.

I jumped up fortunately and muttered a 'YES'!

"Kindly come forward Miss Grande" the MC said.

I started walking to the stage but as I walked, I all of sudden felt dizzy.

I attempted to maintain my eyes open to walk however it was hard but I in some way managed to the stage.

Upon getting there, I did not understand what occurred and everything all of sudden went blank.

The gasps of my lectures and my colleagues have been the last thing I heard.
