Mirror Soul

Kendra was so determined to work and study so hard to finish her college. She also wanted to get recognition in the university
and let her parents be proud to her somehow. She maintained her grades well from the start of her college till up to the end as a
Dean's Lister and her graduation practice came. One by one, students name were announced and went up on stage. Kendra's
awaited moment had started her name were announced to be awarded as a Cum Laude. All the students from the graduation
practice clapped at her as Kendra walking on the stage...
" This is it! I got this." Kendra excitedly walking on the stage and stood up in front of so many fellow students. " Oh my
God."Kendra amazingly saw alot of people infront of her clapping so loud when she stood up infront of the stage and continued
walking down the stage.
" Congrats Kendra! You really surprised us. We were so shocked on this. You are totally amazing." Era and fellow classmates
happily said as they continued clapping and kissing her on cheeks. "Thank you, Thank You." Kendra happily replied as she was
totally overwhelmed with her classmates and fellow students. Kendra's first graduation practice had finished and went home
after. "Dad, Mom I have a good news for you." Kendra excitedly said." Huh, what that news?" Kendras Dad and Mom wondered.
"I am awarded as Cum Laude. You better go to my Graduation to take my award. Arent you excited?"Kendra joyfully announced
it to her parents.
" Really?, Congratulation! We better tell this news to your uncles and aunties for sure they will come here to see you." Kendra's
Mom and Dad happily said. Her parents couldn't wait to announce it to some relatives and friends. "I could not ask anything
more." Kendra said to herself
staring up the ceiling until she fell asleep.
The next morning, the second day of her graduation practice had come. The second practice had almost over but Kendra's name
was not announced to be on stage for the award. Almost all of Kendra's classmates wondered especially Kendra." What
happened?" Era wondered and asked Kendra."I have no idea." Kendra wonderedly replied. The second practice had finished
and Kendra approached the announcer of the stage. " Hi, may I know the reason why my name has not be announced today for
Cum Laude award?"Kendra wonderedly asked. The announcer took the paper with the list of name of students with award and
never saw Kendra's name on it." Oh, there is no name Kendra Clark on the list. Are you really sure?" the announcer wonderedly
asked. Kendra could not believe on what she saw on the list with no name of her." Yes, I am sure about it. My name was
announced yesterday as I stood up in front of the stage with a Cum Laude Award." Kendra insisted. " Well, I think you should ask
your dean on this matter." the announcer replied." Kendra could not understand the mistake they made and left the place pissed
off. The next morning together with Kendra's father on the way to dean's office and suddenly, Kendra saw her dean and

approached her dean. " Hi, dean I am Kendra Clark and i think there is a mistake happened because the day before yesterday I
was announced to be awarded on the stage as Cum Laude but yesterday it didnt announce during the practice time".Kendra
asked. "Oh, yeah You are Kendra Clark, there was no mistake happened yesterday. It was a true announcement. I am so sorry
for the mistake happened during the first graduation practice as I saw your grades truly a Cum Laude Awardee so you were on
the list but you had stopped for a year and the university didnt allow it. It should be a continious studies with a grade like that for
you to be able to get a Cum Laude award." Dean's kept apologizing to Kendra and to her father as he could not do anything of
the university decision. " Her relatives already knew about the award. Ofcourse it was so embarassed to take back what we told
them. My daughter's feeling is definitely broken." Kendra's Dad madly expressing to the dean his feeling and his daughter
feeling. " I am really sorry Mr. Clark and Kendra, for the damage that the university made, I would like you to offer a job Kendra to
be working on our channel and have a 50,000$ salary yearly.Would that be okay for you?" Dean's sincerely offered Kendra's job.
" No, I wont take it.I studied so hard for me to have this award and this is only what I got from all of this."Kendra's madly left the
Dean's office.
Kendra's heart was so broken and never showed up anymore to her university anymore up to the day of her Graduation Day.
She focused more of her time working and working until she would not remember her feeling of embarrassment and pain that
day.
