College Application

      Most people fly economy. Most people cook their own dinner.  Most people don't rule the world. I am not like most people. I fly around the world with my own wings. I cook four star meals in a two star kitchen. I rule the world.  My parents thank me for being their child. People thank me for being in there presence. Countries thank me for stepping foot on their land. At 3 days I was classified as the smartest person in the world. By the age of 2 I won 9 gold medals in Olympic diving. At 7 years old I won a Nobel peace prize. I helped BeyoncĂ© become queen of pop. I taught Ellen DeGeneres how to be funny. I showed Obama how to be president. I showed Queen Elizabeth the etiquettes of being Queen.

                I walk into the gym. All I can see is rows of desks filled with nervous students waiting to get this exam over with. I go and sit in the back corner of the room, trying to hide hoping nobody will notice me.  I feel the regret settling in my stomach.  I tap my toes against the wooden gym floor, silently hoping for a miracle. I can’t help but get mad at myself. Why didn’t I wake up those early morning and show up to class? I have absolutely no clue on what is going to be on this exam. I see the exams being passed down; I can hear the clicking of the pencils as each student begins to write their exam. I finally get my exam. I took a deep breath and opened up my exam. I didn’t know where to start. I flipped each page hoping I knew something but page after page it all looked like a foreign language to me. My stomach dropped, I was so disappointed with myself.  I could hear the scratching of the pencil on paper as other students were scrambling to finish their exam. I wished that was me, I wish I did make an effort to go to class. I started with the multiple choice. Guess after guess, I was hoping that maybe at least one or two would be right. I then go onto the short answers and I see students leaving. My heart starts racing. “I haven’ t even finished half of this exam how am I ever going to get this done.”
