Back From Madness

Rejoice has been the only one her parents gave birth to after much hunting for a child. Her parents have been carrying her just like an egg since they are not ready to lose her.

Rejoice loves taking chances since her parents do not talk to her or question anything she does. Mr and Mrs Kal can go the extra mile to make their only daughter happy as they have been approaching their old age.

It's a handful of characters and so Rejoice happened to be one full of unwanted characters. She has a friend who happened to come from a good home. Hannah is a very good girl and her parents do give her good home training even though she is their only child.

Rejoice has been misbehaving in her school and complaints have gotten to her parents, Mr and Mrs Kal. They on the other hand pay deaf ears. They are not ready to take action and are also not ready to talk to their only child instead believing in all the stories she has cooked.

It's morning and everyone has been in the school assembly ground trying to carry out their normal morning devotion, but to their surprise, Rejoice was in school but nowhere to be found. Where on Earth would she be? Hannah was soliloquizing within herself. She had to look for ways to search the school compound just to make sure her instinct was correct. After much search, she found herself on the bush path with some boys doing what she could not describe. Immediately she saw Hannah, she pretended to have not done anything.
Hannah dragged her to the assembly ground and indeed was her savior for that day. She was going to be punished if not found on the assembly ground but luckily for her, Hannah saved her. Hannah on the other hand could not tell anyone what she saw instead begged her friend to refrain from bad gangs.

It's time for their promotion exams, where Rejoice thought she could use the money to bribe her teachers just to make it, but all her plans bounced back at her leaving her with no choice other than to be reported. She was reported and repeated as she failed.

Her friend Hannah had been promoted to the next class and was not happy for her friend who had been moving with bad gangs leaving her studies to suffer. Rejoice in the brilliant type but her parents who were not ready to make sense of her destroyed her.

Rejoice could not listen to her friend and instead kept on with her strange behavior until she repeated the same class thrice after which she was expelled from the school. Her parents being their only child had to go to meet up with the proprietor of the school but yet we're not given a listening ear. The proprietor told them categorically that they are the cause of their child's misbehavior. Everything that happened to their daughter is a result of the parents' pampering. Sometimes, there should be a limit to the way we pamper our children even if he or she is the only child.

She was out of school and just at home doing nothing and most of the time went out to meet up with her boyfriend. Now, she came home pregnant. No one knows who had impregnated her and her dad was seriously mad at her for the first time after the deed was done. He rejected her and sent her packing from the house, but her mother could not accept his husband's decision.

After days of being out where no one could pinpoint to, she found her way back begging with tears all I'm her face. Her friend Hannah had gone to university which the dad was aware of. He told her all these just to make her realize what she has done. After much begging, her dad accepted her but under one condition. The condition was to bring home the boy who had impregnated her.

She changed and later enrolled for senior secondary school exams after many preparations, and she came out with good grades. This was how she got changed for the better.

Note To Parents
Parents should please be mindful of the kind of pampering they are giving to their children. This can cause something they would not expect.
