Lost or Home at last?
The car stopped right in front of the huge gates of New York University. She stepped out and walked toward the gates, she paused for a moment to take in the environment, how excited and enthusiastic were everybody to go in. She looked up at the beautiful building, she was the one who always appreciated beauty, art and on top of all, the school and anything related to studies then why? Why was this place, the building, the students and everything around was not appealing to her. She looked at the gates and felt like they're welcoming her in with open arms, and that was the problem, she didm't want to be welcomed there.
Bailey Pickett, a girl known to be the smartest in High School was lost at this place. A million thoughts running in her mind. She felt out of place, like she didn't belong there. While school was the only place she ever thought was her own, where she can just be herself, do what she wants to do and not acording to what people expect from her. She sighed, she clearly didn't have another choice but to go in and study at NYU. That was her fate, it brought her here, and she just couldn't help but think what kind of a game fate has played with her, how could life be so unfair to her?
"Bailey..."
Bailey was brought out of her thoughts by hearing her name, she turned around and saw her mother looking at her,
"Don't you have to go in? You are going to be late for your interview, honey"
"Right..." Bailey said with an audible sigh that her mother easily heard. She looked at her worriedly,
"Bailey, dear, you can't still be upset about what happened. C'mon sweetie, cheer up. This is a new beginning"
Bailey just looked at her mother and sighed once again..."Momma! You don't understand, what happened was not just some day to day happening event, don't you realize, momma, my whole life was dependent on it. Everything I ever wanted, all that I wished for myself, gone...ALL GONE MOMMA..."
Bailey didn't even realize that she was getting so loud until she was faced by a stare of her mother and everybody passing by, she sighed and was about to walk away when her mother stopped her,
"Look, Bailey, I know you are going through a hard time. I know what you wanted truly did matter to you and I completely understand why you're still heartbroken about it. But this is life, it doesn't stop for nobody sweetie. Take it as a decision made by GOD for you, trust his will, honey, let your fate guide you..."
Bailey felt like her mother has filled her ears with her magical words. She was still unsure of what she wants to do but finally had a smile on hee face. She knew that in all that is known to her, God's will is something that she could always trust. So she hugged her mother and walked off to the path that nobody but God himself has picked for her.
The corridors were crowded with students, some were there for the interview just like Bailey was, while there were many old students. "My GPA is ruined. Dude I'm telling you, Mr. Spencer is just after me for nothing"...Bailey heard two guys talking while passing by her. Why was the conversation of studies and marks not fascinating her. She was still lost in her thoughts just walking and finding the room she was supposed to have her interview in. "Do you know where room A-3 is?" she heard a guy's voice asking for the direction of the same room she was heading for, she thought to stop and listen to it before walking away just to be sure. The blonde thin boy was standing right beside her, she couldn't help but notice him, did he just crwal out of bed? He looked so sleepy, yet there was something about him. In a crowd of 1000s why was he the one person she noticed? "Go straight then turn right, first room" she heard the other guy speak and the blonde boy thanked him with a smile and walked off. Bailey didn't think she was following him, after all they did have the same path to take.
"May I come in?" Bailey asked gently standing in the doorway, the old looking professor granted her the permission and she went in and took the seat in front of him.
"Miss, Bailey Pickett right?" Bailey just nodded in agreement and the professor continued, "I see you have great qualifications, you had Biology subjects in High School, may I ask you, why choose Business field? Why MBA?"
Bailey felt this urge to scream and just let everything out but she knew she possibly couldn't. This place was her only chance, her only choice, she knew if she wanted she could just blow this interview and that way she would never even get in NYU in the first place, but did she really have a choice? She had to do this...
"Sir, there were many reasons but lets just say I don't want to disclose those, all I can say is that though I have no previous experience of anything related to Business, I am a very hard worker, I have my sister, my father and my uncle to help me out if I do face any difficulty. Then the reason I choose NYU was because I knew it has excellent faculty. I don't think I'd have any problem, I'm willing and determined to work really hard with corporation of all my teachers. While the choice of mentioning the reason I changed my field is upto me."
Bailey finished with a smile and it seemed like the professor was in awe of how fairly and smartly she handled the question asked, without even giving the answer to it. For the rest of the interview, Bailey was asked few questions related to her own subjects and she was off.
Bailey knew that she did good and had 99.9% chance of getting accepted. At first she was thinking, she'd hate it if her interview went well but she wasn't, she was happy about how well she did and for the first time in months she was actually looking forward to this. Maybe this is it, maybe her mother was right, maybe this is right where her fate has lead her. She smiled, "I'm ready for a new beginning..."
