INTRODUCTION TO SMITH
1448 Words
Smith is a young boy of not more than twenty-seven years. At his young age, he is fortunate to be among the most intelligent and highly respected people in his society. Though his parents are middle-class, his intelligence and self-esteem are what makes him beloved by all the people of his metropolitan area. His parents are alive but separated since he was 10 months old. Since then, he's living with his mother and his four male elder brothers, of whom two are certified medical doctors while the others are successful businessmen.
When he was 15, he put on his mind that he would bring transitions into the lives of people worldwide. This is what makes him so much a liberal person to whoever mingles with him or calls for his assistance, no matter what it'll take him.
Smith is a fortune to be admitted into one of the most prestigious universities in his country. Where he was offered admission to study law in the faculty of law.
**************************
New environment! Fresh friends and a different life! Here I'm where my dream of changing the world will begin. Smith continues saying this on his heart while standing in front of the university's gate looking at the bold letters written WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS... He deeply sighed and hauled his backpack on his shoulder and went into the university.
The long queue of students waiting for the bus to take them into the university immediately after you pass the gate is what makes Smith hold up for a little while and then, wiggling his head around, look for an alternative to the long queue as he believes he can't wait for another 10 minutes without seeing himself at the admission office.
"Hey, dude!" A young tallboy said while touching Smith's shoulder from his back.
He hastily turns back and looks at him.
"Oh sorry, my name is Jackson Khalil, I am a new student... I have just arrived...are you a returning student?" He asked.
Smith smiled and nodded his head negatively!
"Oh, are you also a new student?"
He nodded his head again, affirming the assertion.
"OK, nice meeting you. You're my first contact at this university. What's your name?"
"Smith!"
"Oh, Smith, can we please be friends?" Jackson Khalil said.
"Smith smiled and then said:" Why not?
"OK, good! let us hire a private drop-to-university. " Jackson Khalil said.
without denying it, Smith agreed as that was what he already intended to do. They summoned a cab to take them to the university.
"Where can I take you? To the hostel, students' affairs or the admission office?" The taxi motorist asked.
"To the admission office," Smith replied.
5" dollars." The taxi driver said.
"OK, no problem" they all answered and entered the car.
As the taxi starts to move, Smith and Jackson continue their conversation, asking each other a few questions.
"Hey Smith, where are you from?"
"I'm from Mississippi, " Smith replied.
"Oh, I'm from Colorado," Jackson Khalil responded.
"Which course are you offered?" Smith asked Jackson.
"Oh, I offered admission to the school of law.
"Oh great! What a coincidence, I was also offered admission to the school of law. Smith replied.
"Really! First university friend and first coursemate to meet. This is great!" Jackson Khalil replied.
They all laugh and continue with their conversations.
"We're at the admission office." The taxi driver said while he stopped the car at the car park of the admission office.
They all step out of the car while looking at the skyscraper of the ADMISSION OFFICE.
Jackson moves forward and pays the 5 dollar bill to the motorist.
"Let's move in for the registration..."Jackson said.
"Ok, thank you for the bill," Smith said.
"Oh, don't mind." Jackson Khalil answered while they were moving on to enter the admission office.
*********************
The attendant in the cloakroom of the admission office draws their attention by saying; "Welcome to the admission office of the University of Illinois, how can I be of assistance to you?"
"Oh, we're new students, we are here for central registration and verification of our admissions," Smith responded.
"Ok! If you don't mind, can I see your documents for further directions about where you'll do that?"
"Oh, no problem." They said while taking off their backpacks from their shoulders and pulling out their documents and giving them to her for her confirmation.
As she went through the documents, she looked at them and said!
"Congratulations, Smith and Jackson, on your recent admission to one of the most prestigious universities in this country. For your registration and verification, you can go directly to room 575 where you will be verified, and there the next steps of the registration will be communicated to you by the verification officer. You can lock your backpacks there and take only your credentials and the most important and valuable items for yourself. You may go in. Thank you."
"You're welcome." They all answered and did as directed and went in.
"Oh, smith, she's awesome and helpful!' Our enrollment must be very easy. Jackson Khalil said.
Smith smiled and said, "Surely!"
"Here we are in room 575," Smith said.
It was boldly written room 575 verification and an enrolment centre for fresh Law students.
Only 5 students in the queue. Three males and two females.
Smith and Jackson joined the queue.
Jackson is at the front of Smith and behind one gorgeous girl.
Jackson touched her shoulder and whispered to her.
"Hey! I'm Jackson. What's your name?"
She turns around and looks at him and smiles without responding to him.
The queue was going on as it was only the girl, Jackson and Smith at the end.
"Next!" The other student said while coming out of the office.
The girl quickly moves on to the office as she is depleted by the boring conversation of Jackson.
"Hey, Smith! Do you notice how beautiful the girl next to me is?" Jackson said.
Smith smiled and nodded his head.
"She is awesome! I must woo her when we meet in class."
Jackson continues with his blabbering while Smith remains quiet and keeps smiling.
A few minutes later, the girl came out of the office and said " Next!"
"Oh! Thank you." Jackson said while he was surreptitiously glancing at her.
He went into the office, leaving Smith standing alone.
After a few minutes, Jackson came out and said " Hey, you can go in". The enrollment process is very susceptible. I'll be waiting for you here to move on to the next step."
Smith smiled at him and went into the room while knocking at the door.
The verification and enrollment officer responded, " Yes, you can come in.
"Good afternoon, " Smith said.
"Afternoon, may I see your documents?" The enrolment officer asked.
Without saying a word, Smith surrendered his documents to the enrolment officer.
As he went through the documents, the enrollment officer pressed the computer on his desk for verification of the admission.
After a few minutes, the enrolment officer printed out two admission letters to Smith and then signed and stamped them. And then, he looked up and said,
" Congratulations, Smith! You're now verified and enrolled at the University of Illinois. Please come forward and sign your enrolment form here." The enrolment officer said.
Smith smiled and came forward where he signed the two enrolment forms.
" OK, you can now take the student's copy and then photocopy it and proceed to your faculty office to complete your registration and enrolment. Thank you." The enrolment officer said.
"Your welcome, sir!" Smith said while taking his documents and the enrolment form. And then step out of the office.

As Smith steps out of the office, Jackson remains there waiting for him.
"Hey! How do you see the enrolment?" How easy is it now to move to the faculty to complete our registration?"Jackson added.
"Yeah, why not let's go?" Smith asked.
"OK, let us quickly go. I want to meet that girl one more time again," Jackson said.
They quickly move on while laughing at each other.
As they came back to the cloakroom, they took their backpacks and then moved out of the admission office while thanking the attendant.
The registration processes in the faculty are much easier than that of the admissions office as it was the only documentation, registration number and lecture timetable that was given by the faculty officer. They are also informed that in the next two weeks the lectures will commence.
