Chapter 1

Destiny is not a matter of Chance, it is a matter of Choice. It is not a thing to be Waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

It was the first day at the university. There would be no friends and life would be pretty boring. Grace was feeling so nervous. She wanted to have a successful career and that's why it was important to follow the course on business management. She suddenly felt that she was not dressed well. Her jeans and her white blouse were beautiful but everyone was staring so much that she decided it was not good enough.

'Maybe they are looking at the high heels that I am wearing. But these are quite fashionable and very practical. Then why the hell are those students staring?' she thought. 'I am not that much beautiful that everyone just can't keep their eyes off me'.

She had a fair and healthy complexion which matched her light brown eyes. Her lips were already rosy and sometimes she doesn't even apply lipstick. Her long chestnut hair was perfectly tied in a pony tail.

Her course was about to begin and she did not want to be late. She rushed into the classroom and was surprised to find all the seats already taken. 'Very cunning! All the students have already arrived half an hour earlier'.

She found one seat vacant at the back. Grace decided that it was ok and that she should take the seat. The problem was that everyone was staring at her like wolves devouring a lame lamp. She tried her level best to walk slowly and not to show any sign of nervousness.

"Good Morning students"

The lecturer has just arrived. Everyone was sitting while Grace Stand up nervously.

"Yes, do you have anything to say?" the lecturer asked.

Grace flushed terribly.

"No Sir"

"Then sit down"

Grace took her place and looked around the students. All of them were trying hard not to laugh. To the great relief of Grace, the course began and soon everyone was engrossed in it.

"So Students by next week all of you will be given your first assignment. I know it is very early but that's how I teach. To make it easier for you I will divide you in five teams. You will have only one week for the assignment".

Grace felt her pulses beating fast. An assignment! Oh God! What's this new trouble? Now in which group will I be?

The course lasted only for three hours much to the relief of Grace. She checked her time table and was happy that there was no extra course to follow. She can now go home.

"How was your day at the university?" her father asked her at home.

"Oh.... Horrible dad. I mean I don't have any friends and the course is so boring"

"Grace, do we have to argue over this again?"

"Dad is it necessary to follow the course? Ok no need to be angry. I will drink this sour indigestible pill".

"Stop behaving like a child. Grow up darling" her father said. "I want you to be independent in your life. Your friends are only a part of your life but only you have to walk towards your destination. Beside your uncle Sam want you to take an interest in his business."

"Dad I've understood. I just hope that this course end quickly", she said and in a softer voice murmured "I prayed the lecturer stop coming to the university".

"Grace!" frowned her dad. "I heard you".

"Sorry but..."

"No excuses. Go into your room and try to sleep early as tomorrow you have to attend your course".
