The Exam

Blank page ...

What to write ?...

The exam paper just lay there in front of Sadie like a teacher standing in front of you waiting intimidatingly to get the answer to the impossible question on the board. The only things in the whole gym hall/exam hall she could hear was the clock ticking every second and the pencils scrubbing the paper in the hands of the more clever students in front of her .

Sadie found school a lot harder than other people because she had dyslexia . She wanted to become a teacher when she was older but without the good grades she couldn't be able to get into college or university . People in her classes didn't know what dyslexia what was and they just thought that she was stupid . She quickly gazed at the time and realised that there was only 10 minutes left of the exam . She was on the on the last question which actually quite surprised her before she saw other people relaxing in their chairs because they had finished early. The teacher who was holding the exam said " time up, hand in your papers please !"

Sadie quickly wrote down an answer for her final question but she wasn't to sure about it . She needed a B to have a chance of getting into the college that she wanted . The teacher came round and collected her paper . She gave the teacher a faint smile but she got a stern look in return . All Sadie could do now was wait until the dreaded day came when her exam results came through the rusty letterbox of her house .

3 Months Later

It was a happy and sunny day in the middle of August in the summer holidays . Sadie was up bright and early for her exam results to come through the door . When they eventually did come, her whole family waited with anxiety to see what her results were . She slowly opened up the envelope with the sound of the envelope making the moment even more tense . She opened up the booklet and looked to see what letter she had got .

A?

B?

C?

D?

E?

F?

One letter could change her life forever .
