I was listening to Samuel explaining things to me about data stabilising when I got a mail from my Uncle, I opened it to see a new Will being updated, I smiled and sent in my reply,
Ben is more likely to be home late today, so I went home early,
I got to the principals office late,
Welcome Mr Cater please have a sit, I was overjoyed when you told me you will be coming to the Academy to teach the students, please which do you take tea or coffee, no thanks am good, take me to the hall, yes Sir, this way please, when we got to the hall it was filled with students eagerly waiting for me, hello students I shouted, hi Mr Cater their voices was all over the place,
