JAYLAH she exclaimed "Hurry up before we get a late charge, I'm not covering for you again" "Fine" Jaylah said "I'm going as quick as I can. It's just" "Ohhh Jaylah," her roommate said giving her a comforting hug, "It's time to move on now It's been 4 years since your mother died" "it's just" jaylah stuttered "this college is the last memory of her that I have, Its the last thing that connects me to her. The last thing she said was "chase your dreams Jaylah" and I can't even figure out what my dream is, or what I want to do what if this was my dream and now my life is meaningless" Her roommate wiped Jaylah's tear off of the bottom of the picture that said 'Princeton University class of 1998' "Your Mom would be proud of you Jaylah, always remember that" Jaylah threw the picture in the box and quickly tapped the box shut.
