Dreamland is a blissful place where everything seem so pretty , so good and whatever you desire the most you often dream about it. But for me i usually dont remember anything once i wake up from sleep, and that just feels terrible.

Well due to my case of forgetfulness, i forgot i overslept this morning and woke with a start when my mother came bursting in my room asking me to get ready for school .

"Amara please wake up and have your breakfast otheewise you'll get late for school". My mother is such a sweetheart.
But like every kid i sometimes find her too overprotective .

" Yes mom, am already up, i'll be ready in ten minutes".

Our family has four memmbers, Dad, Mom, My sister and I . Am elder and my sister she's an angel . I have to tell you she's truly an angel because a girl so sweet as her shouldn't be handicapped the way she is , but i find her a blessing for us, sent as an angel to always keep spreading the smiles when we need them the most .

I quickly got ready had my breakfast, said goodbye to mom and left for school. It takes me almost an hour to reach school and am usually late due to the never ending traffic.

School was a good thing for me as i get to meet my friends daily. On arriving t to school my best friend Afia was waiting for me.

" Hey girl, you are early today "
" Yes, i got up early to avoid traffic " .

we studied in a convent school for girls. It was a good environment but too conventional and stereotypical for girls. I always felt a bit left out when my cousins discussed about there school life . I didnt find my school life THAT interesting.

I was an average student, above average you could say , but i felt how much ever i succeed it still going to be less. I was always insecure during my school days and may be later on too.

Life continued as usual , i was in my last year of school . Studies were getting tougher . I studied very hard that year kept away from all the distractions.

Finally the day has come for our last exam.

Afia and i went to our respective classes. After 3 Hours of exam we were finally free.

" How was your exam?" Afia asked.

" Yes it was much better, hope we will pass in all the subjects" . I was dying for summer vacation.

" Well happy summer vacation Amara " .
" Same to you Afia "

We left our school premises and went home . At home i was so excited for summer vacation . Finally am going to enjoy these vacations sooo much .
