“Not yet.” Sophie considered Jipsdale University but was still unsure if that was what she wanted.

“It’s okay. You can think about it first since we have time.” There was no point in hurrying.”

“Okay.”

Since the homeroom teacher had phoned several times, Sophie decided to head to school and go straight to his office. “What’s up, Teach? Is there something you want to talk about?”

“Here’s a form for you; it’s a recommendation. Are you interested?”

“To which university am I recommended for admission?”

“Jipsdale University!”

The school was only provided with one opening, and the principal decided to offer it to Sophie.

“I’m not interested.” Since Sophie knew she was capable of qualifying for the university, it was only natural that she would sit for the university entrance exam.

“What? Are you sure? You don’t have to make up your mind now, Sophie. Think about it or discuss it with your family first,” advised the teacher because of how rare the opportunity was.

“Okay.” Sophie said nothing else but returned to her class instead.

“Do you know why Teach wanted to see Sophie?”

“I heard it was because of the recommendation. As the top student in our school, Sophie will no doubt be the one to get it.”

“I’m so jealous! We had to try our hardest just to get a chance to be enrolled in the university, while she made it look like a walk in the park. How can life be so unfair?”

“Give me a break. Stop complaining, will you? I’m sure you’d get recommended too if you were the number one student in our school. Since that’s not the case, there really isn’t any point in complaining, is there?”

It was every student’s dream to get recommended, but not everyone was qualified for such a privilege.
