Deborah joins an American school

" Lola! Lola! Wake up and get ready for school" I heard Lola's  dad call again this morning. I woke up as well while my brother and sister went back to sleep. Lola sat up " oh hey Deborah I'm just going to school go back to sleep" Lola said. " I'm awake now" " alright but you should go to sleep you'll wish for it once you join School" right when she said that my face dropped to a frown. " is something wrong Deborah?" She said in a concerned tone " oh it's nothing I just want to join school I want to wake up early like you and David and Elizabeth. You're in 8th grade and David is in third grade Elizabeth is in second grade" l said frustrated.
" well you need to enjoy this time now cuz once you join school you're going to hope to get some sleep and be out of school".
" I don't want to hear that! I just want to join School" " well you're going to have to ask your mom about that.

I woke up again this time at my usual time. I went out into the living room " good morning Deborah" my mom said

" good morning Mom" I said

" um mom?"
" yes Deborah?" " when am I going to join school? At first you said that we were joining in February, but that was just for David and Elizabeth" I said hurt " well it was supposed to be a surprise but... I am taking you to school today"

"WHAT!" I was extremely surprised " yes but they decide when you start going." " I am so excited when are we going?" " this afternoon" I couldn't wait 'til this afternoon. I wish that I could turn time forward all I did was try to do fun things to pass time. I couldn't get my mind off school
'I'm finally going to first grade'  I thought excitedly.  I kept on waiting and asking my mom over and over again , but no answer. " Deborah come! Let's go to the grocery store" mom said slipping on her shoes " but Mom I don't want to go"

" you're coming and that's final" "ugh". I went outside into the car. We went to walmart to get some groceries,  and we were going back home at least I thought.

" mom?" " yes honey?" " where are we going?" " you'll see" we drove for 6 more minutes ,and we showed up at this brick building it said Don Achziger Elementary " Mommy is this the school you were talking about?" "Yes" I was so excited I was wiggling the whole way to the front office.

"Hello?" A blonde lady said working in the office " hi I'm the one who made an appointment. Um My last name is Adekunle" the woman started typing on the computer "  ah I see you're here for your school sign up"  "yes we are" " so this must be Deborah" said the lady nicely.

" well she's a cutie okay"  "I'll go get your application" the lady went to the back of the office. Later on she came back with a sheet of paper "here you go" she handed the paper to my mom

"wow thank you" " you're welcome". "The paper you take it home and fill it out with information and then once you bring it back will give you your day" she said pointing and smiling at me. We walked out and went into the car "that's it?" I asked "what? We're still coming back tomorrow to turn in the application"

said Mom, but I was impatient I couldn't wait for tomorrow. Later that afternoon David, Elizabeth, and Lola came back and I felt even more jealous than I did before.

~the next day~
I heard the call of Lola's dad again, but this time I went back to sleep. Later that morning I woke up and quickly ran to my mom " Mom where's the paper that we were supposed to fill out?" "oh it's right there  on the table" my mom said pointing. I grabbed it and looked it over everything was filled out "hey Mom we're turning this in today right?" I said eagerly

"Yes ,but I need to get ready" mom said tired " Hurry up Mom" "okay okay jeez." We were on the road back to my future school "hi" said the blonde woman again "we're here to turn in the application" "oh yes give it here" said the blonde woman holding out her hand.
