----------------------------Dad Resigns----------------------
Dad started to look for a proper school for us. None were in the vicinity. But further into the city, although there were schools, they didn’t turn out convenient for us because either we had to take courses we weren’t interested in or there was no proper means of transport. So the smashing blow came out rather hard on us. We wouldn’t have a regular school to go to. We were remorsed and cried secretly.
Dad probably guessed what we were going through. The very next day he resigned from his work of professor at the university. He announced the news to us while having lunch and that we only had to stay here for five more months and we would set off for our country where we could attend the school of our dreams. That certainly cheered us up.
Dad started coaching on our studies in the main areas: English, Science and Mathematics. We already had the requied books; so it was ok. It was an intensive study. He always gave out the work we had to do in these areas the night before as he had to go out for work in the morning. We knew Dad cared and that he didn’t want us to fall behind in our classes when we would finally attend school in our country.
Sometimes we got stuck in the middle of our work and couldn’t continue. It really depended on Dad’s mood whether he would solve it for us happily or show off his temper. That way we tried to hang on the following few months.
Studies were not the only thing we were going to do during the upcoming months. There were going to be a whole lot of happy moments during the months that were going to follow, and those were going to stick with us for the rest of our lives.
