UNFAMILIARITY
“SOMETIMES NERVOUSNESS AND FIGHTING BACK TO
STAY CALM IS ALL THAT ONE NEEDS TO
OBSERVE THINGS IN POSITIVE WAY”.
I make my way through the corridor to the nearest sofa which is available, everything foreign engulfs me. I wait for my turn patiently and yet nervous. The weather is already cold enough to send shiver down to the spine and my legs are not helping me either as it continue to shake. The staff comes over to the group I am sitting with, although the people are some discussing about the exam while the few of them are confident enough to get through it and the rest of them like me trying to look calm and patience.
The staff allocated to us makes her way to the stairs and to the computer each of us are assigned to sit in front of the computer and complete our exam with in an hour as I click on the start button i see question about General knowledge, Mathematics and English. the first question that appears in the screen all I know about it just nothing, common it is Mathematics. I look up and to the people around and stare back to the screen, well I knew I have to do something so I pick up the pencil and the paper provided for rough works and pretend to calculate and select one of the option randomly after we are done with one hour we are sent to the office one by one and we were allocated 15 minutes to prepare for the speech as the people started moving out from the room one by one, I sat there wondering which speech would be better when it was more than hour and my back started aching i could take it no longer I make my way downstairs and half of them were almost done with it and had already made it in as I sat there in the sofa for the staff to call out my name. I looked up to my right and there was this girl with brown curly hair, hazel eyes and with a sweet smile as she looked at me. I smiled back to her and mustered up my courage to ask about the interview speech and about the exam. it only had been 5 minute when her name was called out she made her way towards the office with nervous smile.
