Parents know best

It was one summer day I came out of my school bus with my bag hanging at one side of my back and on the other my cricket kit. My mother was waiting for me at my stand, I went to her and she told me “there’s a vacancy at don bosco.” I got very happy as I always dreamt of it that I was studying in that institution. But before I could expand my happiness my mother continued “but there’s no vacancy in your class its one below you are in.” And my bat slipped of. It looked that it shared with me my emotion.
“I cannot repeat a class, it’s below my dignity” I told my mother as we were going home. “But its don bosco your life will get settled believe me I know what’s good for you.” I thought she doesn’t know what’s good for me. I had studied for 7 years in that school. I was favorite of my friends and of teachers but then it was my mother her decision was final. I reached home and sat with my books after a nap of 30 minutes. She came to my room an said “close these books and start preparing for your entrance test.” I felt my body burning with fire but I was helpless. I always wanted to be in don bosco but not at cost of 1 year. Next day was my exam at dbs. I went inside the school and looked up it was a magnificent one. Flushing garden and 3 buildings interconnected with each other. Two basketball courts and a ground which spread were over an area of about 1000 square feet. I felt great and when I climbed up the srairs I saw about 50 classrooms and long corridors. It was all that I wanted. I went to give the test which included three papers – math’s, English, g.k. My exam went nice as I had expected because I was one year low. The results came after 4 days. I was selected in the 180 boys. There were more 10 boys. The next day was the interview and I was too excited. We reached there and then my interview started. I was very confident while speaking and answered all questions. It was not bookish questions. It was all logical. I got admission in don bosco my dream schools but at cost of 1 year. But that one year did not much mind to me because now my base is very strong. I can speak fluent English and I have also made my own personality. I could do this all because my parents. They pushed me into this school and now when I think of the day my mother told me about the vacancy I cannot remember why I told that I will not go into this school. I know the fact very well now that “PARENTS KNOW BEST”
