Chapter 2.2. Cupellation begins

“Oh, Nana, why me?” I exclaimed. “Ohemaa, do not be intimidated; these young ladies you see here were made by this same environment as I was. We all came in scared and clueless, but if you yield to guidance and instructions, you will come out a wholesome young lady ready to take on the world and anything life throws at you. Confidence is built, and knowledge is borne from seeking it in books. Things may not seem clear now, but eventually you will have it all together like these ladies do. Trust me, you aren’t the only seemingly clueless young lady here,” she said with a smile while she patted my shoulder with her left arm and with the right, pointing at a glass door which opened to reveal young ladies like me looking clueless and scared as their parents and guardians accompanied them and said their final goodbyes. One young lady looked like she was going to pass out, this other one had cried her eyes out, and the other short one at the end looked like her world was crushing around her. One lady, however, didn’t seem perturbed by any of this; she had her nose buried in a book which had the school logo on it.
