Her times at school were like a roller coaster,she would enjoy the day at some points and at other times she wouldn't enjoy it at all. Christine took bussines studies,the teacher of the course was a very hard hearted man who frightened all the pupils in school. When he was seen approaching the classes all the pupils would go quite until he went back to his office, the man was tall and gigantic with very formal English and a formal every day attire. The good part is he was an organised man and did not expect any mistakes from his pupils,this was rather a bit hard for his pupils. He always used a duster on anyone who made a mistake or did not submit a book on time.
A new teacher was introduced in school,he was a French teacher very short with a short temper.
The short man always used a quote "don't trouble the trouble before it troubles you" he always said this especially when he was upset,and everyone would make fun of him even more instead of obeying him. He still loved his students even though they were notorious to him, he also made them pass there French exams.
The school was a nice place to be the only bad part about it was the way pupils use to boast alot about too many unnecessary things. Christine later wrote her grade nine exams and passed with flying colors,she later went to a government school by the name of PARKLANDS SECONDARY in her tenth grade. She didn't easily adapt to the environment because the kids there were different from the ones from her former school, the only thing was they were never bragging about anything. Christine was a very intelligent girl and was one of the most intelligent pupils in school, she did get good results in her tenth grade, but in her eleventh grade she forgot all about school and would be dodging school at some points. During the holiday christine spent some time reflecting on her life and the goals she had,since her tenth grade she reduced and had bad grades this was because she became very playful . She knew she would do better because it was just the peer pressure she was surrounded by. It took a couple of weeks to reflect and make the rightful decisions in her life.she also constantly asked herself what happened to the girl who was the best during her primary days. She missed herself been one of the intelligent pupils who were acknowledged by the director of the school.
Monday on the 10 of June when classes resumed,she courageously went and sat with the best students of the class and told them she wanted them to help her. They were all filming because they never wanted her near them. But even though they made her feel like an alien,she was still persistent to be near them because she had outlined out goals and was eagar to accomplish them.
So as weeks passsed , christine continued working towards her goals and didn't mind what the rest said. Later on she started been recognized by some students for her change and the hard work she had put towards her goals,well it really paid off. She also taught many other pupils unguidedly that to get what you want you need to keep your head high and keep the focus you gain rigid enough to overcome challenges.
Months passed and she was finally in her final grade,she continued working hard,but the only subjects that still challenged her were Science and Math. She figured out that for her to improve she needed to join a math club which would motivate her to practice more oftenly,but to her luck she had this teacher by the name of Mr Soko who was her Science teacher and Mr machila who was her Math teacher,these two were considered to be the best teachers because of there passion to teach,they also had good oratory when it came to getting pupils attention,and every class wished they were taught by the two teachers. So christine took it to herself that she would confront them and tell them the challenges she faced in the two subjects. She later started improving at a slow phase until she became the best in class,her improvement was recognized by the senior staff and it was kept on records that christine had become one of the A+ pupils in school.
Weeks passed and it was time for pupils to be selected as prefects well Jemima really thought she would become the head girl Or the vice head girl,but this time it wasn't in her favour this made her so infuriated that she stopped talking to everyone in her class,though it was just for some hours. She couldn't avoid the furious face,her ire was discerned and this created a gossip ground for others in school,well for a week she was the story in school. After some weeks Christine realized been a prefect wasn't really important because it would have given her a heavy duty,she also realized that she wouldn't pay attention to her studies because she had noticed how other prefects were always roving around school and never had time for studies.
In her third term of 12th grade she met this guy named kanoka who later became her best friend,the two became fond of each other and even did everything together,they went for there tuitions together and even sat on the same desk. The watchdogs of the school noticed there closeness and it became a rumour that the two were lovebirds,the story wasn't true so they never really paid much attention to the gossips that chattered in school.
It was finally time for exams,and the atmosphere in school had changed, everyone was roaming around with books,even the notorious ones who never took intrest in school. Exams were conducted,and the pupils went for a holiday,well personally to jemi the exam was a 50-50 for her.
The next year,the results were announced and Christine eaced an eight points,this made her family so proud and her dad had started preparing for her enrollment in University.
