Chapter 4 New World College

At the gate of New World College, those feelings crept over me and I felt butterflies in my belly. Mom asked whether I'm ready and have the needed documents. I quickly searched my bag and gave a heave. For once, I thought I left something at home but everything was set. With everything ready, we moved directly to the administration but dad decided to stay in the car and wait for us. We knocked on the door and the voice that said "enter" made me to shiver. I manage to hide it and I followed my mom into the office.

"have a seat", the voice said.

"thank you". Mom and I said in unison.

"welcome to New World College where we admit brilliant students. "We also offer these courses", he said giving us a shit. Though I know the courses they are offering, immediately I saw the course I intend to offer, I became excited within. When the man realized we were done skimming through what he gave us, he continued his talk.

"Welcome to New World College once again. I am Professor Danny Daniels, the vice principal of the college".

. I felt something jumped in my stomach but I held myself.

"How may I be of help to you?", he said.

My mom realized I couldn't speak so she quickly took over.

"I am Wendy Dickson and this is my daughter, Sandy Dickson. She received an admission text from your college and we are here to do the needful."

"can I see her details?", the vice principal asked.

Though I was a bit nervous, I was able to take my results and admission form and handed it over to the vice principal.

"wow, very good results, this is one of the best results from the applicants we accepted this year. How old are you miss?"

Seventeen, sir, I replied.

"very good. When your academic year starts, you would be oriented on the courses so that you can choose the best out of it. Madam, your daughter did extremely well, I must confess. From here, you would use the code on this admission letter to pay the school fees. From there, you would come to the accountant's office to submit the receipts and your daughter would sign. Right from there, you would move to the college's store opposite the accountant's office to receive some school items. It's nice meeting you today and Sandy, we would be glad having you here. Thank you".

Mom also thanked him for the warm welcome and we left the office. I hummed just at the entrance of the office and mom let out a little laughter.

"It would be very good when you stop being nervous cause everything is going to be cool."

"okay mom, I would. Thanks for being here for me always. I really appreciate". I hugged daddy and he knew things went on well.

"You should have been there to see how the vice principal was praising our Sandy. He said her result is one of the best from the applicants they accepted this year. He also gave us a guide as to how to pay the fees and receive some school items".

"That's very nice, I wish I was there though".

They all laughed and entered the car. Sandy's dad drove to the bank for the payment of the fees and back to the college. As it is done, we knocked on the accountant's door and "come in" was heard. We entered and greeted the accountant who was a lady. She also welcomed us warmly and we submitted the payment receipt. She then directed us on how to go about the filling of the forms. A seat was given to us where we relaxed and filled the form. After filling the form, Sandy signed some papers and we were given the direction to the school's store room. The school's store is painted blue and white and it is some few minutes -walk just from the accountant's office. A black car was packed in front of the store and we knew it might be for the storekeeper. We knocked and entered the room. We greeted the man in charge and we handed over the receipt given to us by the accountant and he offered us some seats. He picked the various clothes and showed us each with its name. He later gave us a paper on which the clothes' design that were to be were to be sown were drawn on it. The man also told us some way as to go on with the sowing. Sandy later signed and we thanked him and left the office.
