      Aptitude test day has continued to make me nervous each year. Each year, on this exact day I am reminded of my own test. Though today is choosing day, everyone internally still reminisces about their tests, though no one is allowed to converse about their individual experiences and results.  Though today we find out, and I close my eyes to relive the nervous feeling I exhibited as I crossed the threshold into the testing room, door closed and the school hallway left behind me. No longer was I a dauntless girl, appearing fearless and rebellious, yet associated with the world's protectors. I had always known I would leave that compound, had assumed I would eventually move on, though I did not think the time would come so close to when I was situated into the experiment.

        Before I came here, I always admired the Abnegation though David did not think it would be safe for me to be implanted there, since the majority of the genetically pure resides there. However, the thought of being another Abnegation girl, one who followed society's rules to the core and being accepted, almost blended in satisfies me. I often thought that they were the backbone of the factions.Regardless, I left that room changed. From then on, I was divergent and there was no going back. Technically, I had been divergent all along, and known it. Although, there is a giant gap between the known and unknown. It can change lifestyles and alter ones life forever. Although I knew I was divergent before arriving here, assimilating to the faction lifestyle often made me forget and feel a sense of community, where I did not have to be different. I wondered if either of my children would have a new truth to there life revealed today. Unlike my situation, neither would be fortunate enough to know if they were divergent before entering the room. That is, if Divergence runs in their blood.

      After Caleb and Tris get today, then the stakes are high for the following days to come. Choosing day. I have been nervous about that day from the moment both of them were born. It will merely be a mental game for me about how well I know my own children. Though deep down I know the truth, though I'd like to disregard it and tend to forget to acknowledge everything right in front of me.
Abnegation may no longer be their homes.
