Notes from my journal
Updated! A beam
of Light The teacher:
good morning students, And there it began as Father Ryan stated, "As you all know we are coming up on the annual fun day at Hope Garden. This year there will be a special treat for those students who sell the most tickets." Suddenly, the large duffle bag Father Ryan had brought with him that morning had a meaning. Father Ryan started to place usable toys on his desk, there was a silent; you could hear a pin drop as the boys stared at the awesome array of prizes lay before them. As to tempt and promote sale growth, father Ryan then stated to the class, you can all take turns in groups three you may approach the desk to inspect the prizes, left side of the room will starting first. After forever, it came to Kenrick's turn he was seating in third desk in a group of six the fifth row from the left. As his group inspects the goods, Kenrick had already decided what prize he wanted, so there was no reason to inspect the others. On the desk amongst the junks lay the real treasure, it was a large sky blue flashlight, it was a beauty of flashlight. The striking feature about this flashlight was the head of the lamp was extra large. An instead of one sliding on & off switch there was two push buttons switches, one for on/off and the other one for blinking light mode. Father Ryan was very smart he had put batteries in the toys, in tone of exuberance Kenrick spoke out a loud, that flashlight is mine. No, no, no father Ryan said, the students who sells the most tickets, their names will be place together in a hat, the first name from the hat will have first choice in selecting their prize. Again Kenrick spoke out… that flashlight is mine. Now three
months had passed, it's mid-term, after the examinations came fun day
and also it was time for the drawing of the prize. Father Ryan began by
saying students who sold over fifty tickets their names will be called
out then place into the hat. The form captain will then be asked to pick
form the hat the first name. Of the student who sold over fifty tickets
Kenrick was one of the six selected to go first. The names where places
inside, the hat was shaken, then the form captain right hand enter the
hat. The first name reading from his form captain lips was Kenrick Elliott.
Once again you could hear a pin drop as the room of 30 boys was silence,
as Kenrick marched to collect his flashlight, there was whispers of voices,
he told us that was his and indeed it was… wow.
