All That We Loved

"Home sweet home"Ava said as she dropped her bag and slumped on the couch."Am so tired and famished"She stood up and went into the kitchen to get some fruits,slice them and start chewing

But wait,where is everyone?

Oh sorry,I forgot to introduce my self,Am Ava George,

The second child of the George family,my family aren't rich but we are satisfied...

Wonder where I was coming from? Actually I was coming from my Aunt's place at Busan

And just came back today happily

Jack came in and saw some bag one the couch,"oohh,ava must be back"Ava Ava"he called out

Answering from the kitchen. "Coming"

Ellla was running from one place to another to receive order,

The restaurant was owned by the George family and it is a family business so they don't hire workers coz of the low income they are earning

*************""****

At my former school I missed a lot of opportunities coz we couldn't afford the pay..

Flashback....

Ava,the hr teacher is asking for you"A Student hinted me

Okay, thanks'I thanked her and headed to the Teachers room

What do you mean by it won't be funded, Wasn't the The company covering all the cost"I heard I had the best talent among all, wasn't that enough to receive the benefits"I asked him feeling confused

Well there was this international Contest going on,and it was being Funded by SBC NEWS For student for has the Talent or skills to become a Newscaster

I was picked as the best student among all

Of course you have the best Score, but it turns out that there's someone more fortunate than you financially and your spot was given to her first"The teacher said

What?I Asked not getting what he was saying well

I'm aware of your situation,but the other students has a good connection inside and outside the country and she also have a wealthy parents too..."He continues

What does that have to do with me"There being someone who's More fortunate than I am,it doesn't make my matter any better"I said expressionlessly

Right,it doesn't,"but am not saying that there isn't any option for you," You will have to to pay 3500$ dollars," Can your parents afford that?"He asked pretending not to know about my family's situation ...

I lost that slot and opportunity to move my life higher,and there was this adage that says opportunity comes but once

I hope that Adage doesn't work on me .......
