I remember that day. It was the day that I will never forget. I was at my home after having the exam the previous day. The result of the exam would be announced the next day. But considering the distance of the exam location, I asked my friend to check the result of the exam.

That morning I was having a morning tea while waiting for my friend call. My parents and I were nervous that morning as the result of the exam was important for me to continue to higher school in my area without having the entrance test. As I was dreaming about my results while taking a sip of tea; suddenly the phone rang and I was so excited when my mom told me it was my friend. I ran towards phone as soon as possible. I grabbed the phone from mom and started missile of questions on my friend. From the other end my friend shouted at me and suggested me to keep calm and allow her to speak. She said that I got the highest mark all the exam participants. Listening this I shouted, Oh Really‼! My mother came running towards me, she was so happy. She started crying and gave me a tight hug. She said that she was very proud of me.
