ONE DAY, YOU WILL BEAT THE PLACE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE. DON'T STOP BELIEVING.

Khalifa's graduation took place at the school hall. Presentations and other activities took place nicely.

He was awarded as "Most Behaved" in the whole secondary section.

My sister, Amirah also graduated from primary to secondary

And my other baby sister, the youngest, Zarah also graduated from Nursery to primary.

Zarah ran to me with her result.

"Yaya khady," she called more like a whine.

"Yes my baby, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Salim collected my biscuit. He said we must share and I don't want to share with him." She cried.

"Oh come on my baby, sharing is good, where is he. I've to see Salim today." I asked her.

Salim is her classmate and also her seatmate, she always talk about him when she comes back from school.

"Go and call him okay, tell him your sister is calling him." I said showing her to go.

After some minutes, they came together with zarah holding two biscuits with her.

"Where did you get the biscuits from? Huh!" I asked her.

"Salim gave me." She simply said.

"So you see, Salim is a good boy,he shared his biscuit with you zarah, Salim is a good friend. Learn from Salim, okay?" I said tapping her shoulder.

"But I gave him mine, I'm also a good girl yaya." She whined.

"Yes you are, but when you share your things, Don't complain. Okay?" I said.

"Okay yaya. I'll not complain again." She said.

"Salim, how are you?" I asked him holding his hand.

"I'm fine Anty," he answered.

Just then, Maryam burst into laughter. She knows how I hate to be called Anty.

I ignored her, "call me yaya khady as zarah. Okay?." I said

"Okay yaya khady," he said after me.

"Mommy, this is zarah, my friend." Salim said to his mom when she came into the scene.

"Oh zarah, how are you." She said giving a hand shake.

"I'm fine mommy." She answered.

We exchanged pleasantries with her and my mothers too.

After that, we took pictures lots of pictures together.

I saw when Maryam was taken us pictures,Yaya Yusuf and I. As I was showing him the picture I took of him with Umma and Ummi. She called our names, and when we looked up, she clicked the snap.
