The Winner !

One day, there was a girl named Clarissa. She was a 12 years old girl and she just entered  junior high.

Someday, she knew in her school there was a test for scholarship to study overseas. She searched many information about it. Then her parents told her that one of her cousin, Alvin had got the scholarship 2 years ago. She decided to to contact Alvin. She asked all of about the scholarship and fortunately Alvin answered it kindly.

Yes, Alvin was very smart. He was smart in English and all if the subjects dealing with counting. Sometimes, Clarissa used to ask Alvin about subjects dealing with counting such as math, physics, etc. And Alvin replied it so long because he was so busy and sometimes he replied it fiercely.

She wanted to make her parents proud and wanted proof to everyone that she could. Alvin was the one who inspired her to join the scholarship though sometimes Alvin's behavior was quite annoying to her.

When she saw her twitter's timeline, she saw one of her friend status, "are you dreaming want to join the scholarship ?! Hey, your score isn't quite enough to join it." And it made her felt so down though she knew it wasn't for her.

Sometimes she felt so down that she couldn't get it. But sometimes she had a lot of spirits to join it though she still felt not sure with herself.

One day, her best friend, Fei asked her about the scholarship, "Sa, why do you feel you can't ? You should try to join it first. Just choose, first you see others join it then they get it, or second you try to join it but you don't know you will get it or not but you have an experiences after that."

Then Clarissa answered it, "i think the second one. Why ? Because at least I've tried and if I don't get it, I'm not the only one who don't get it, right?"

When she was at home and she saw her instagram, she found in one of her friend photo's caption was written, "Let them judge, laugh, and say whatever they wanna say about you. They don't know what you are going through." And she made that words as a motivated words.

She worked so hard, such as joined additional English class for scholarship, etc. Then she asked Alvin to help her and fortunately Alvin wanted to help her.

After she worked so hard, the time has come to join the test. She entered the class and prayed to God. Her heart was beat so fast but she tried to make herself calm down to do all of the questions well.

One week after the test, the result has come out. She had taught she won't get it. So she didn't wanna see the name who got it. But Fei ran to her very fast.

"What happens, Fei? Why did you run so fast like that ?" Clarissa asked her.

"You.. You.. You should see .. The name who get the scholarship." Fei answered it while she was trying to set her breathe.

"Should I? No, I don't want. Because I know I won't get it. Don't force me, Fei."

"No, Sa. You should see it first because you....."

Before Fei was finishing to say, Clarissa ran while she pulled Fei's arm.

"WHAT ???" Clarissa screamed so loud when she was seeing it.

"Congrats, Sa. You've got what you've dream since a long time ago. I'm so proud of you !" Fei congratulated Clarissa nicely.

Clarissa still couldn't say anything. She still felt very shock. She never realized she could get it. She felt so proud with herself but she didn't being arrogant. She was still down to earth. Finally she could make her dreams come true, make her parents proud of her, and also she could proof to everyone she could.
