She brought out a white sheet and waited for further instruction by the principal. "Go ahead! go ahead!" She beckoned on her to open it. Onome opened the sheet and began to read: ¶AN INVITATION BY GREAT COLLEGE!
  We are pleased to offer one of your students, (Onome Oghenetega) to our quarterly Technical Drawing symposiums. We find it quite impressive that she was able to perform exceptionally well at the Technical Drawing mock examination.
 We belief that her attendance at this program would enhance her technical prowess and prepare her further for future encounter.
 We crave your indulgence to accept our invitation.
    GREAT COLLEGE🎓.
  Onome finished reading the letter and then, she stood still for a while with her head shyly bowed. The principal smiled.
 "Onome, ain't you happy?" She asked.
 "Really ma, I am surprised.
 " I know but you should be proud and happy that you are already standing out. Great colleague is a very good school in the big city so you are already on your way for exposure." The principal said.
 Onome knew that, coming from her principal, that was certain.
 "Thank you ma" Onome said as she tried to put herself together.
 "Tell your parents to see me tomorrow so that we can start making plans" The principal said.
 "Okay ma" Onome said. As she left the office, while heading for her class, her mind sank. She wondered what her parents would think. Her mum? Okay..maybe not much of a problem but her dad! Hmmmmm..he had so much traditional beliefs barricading his mind. Onome just prayed quietly.
