Under the
stairs of college
A sixteen-year old girl emily, who is passionate of writing
stories and poetry but unfortunately she could not fulfill her wish due to her
parents hopes and expectations. She is the younger member of jhonson’s family,
who are known for their remarkable knowledge skills. Her father Mr.Jhonson is a
doctor whereas her mother is a nurse in the same hospital. They wanted their
children to be focused on science studies. She has one brother in the middle
and one elder sister who did her ph.D in microbes last year and now she is
married to the well-educated noble man. Her brother is doing his engineering in
mechanics and she took admission in springdale college to study medical science,
also to fulfill her parents wish of being a doctor but on the inside she knew
that this is not her passion she always wanted to quit studies and become a
best writer. Whenever she sit under the stairs room she always try to write
something and show it to others. But she has the fear of being failed what if
she tell everyone about her passion and everyone supports her but still she
fails to be successful? What if being a writer didn’t give her good outcomes? What
if she left behind from her friends in studies? There are already so many
writers what if I never became a good one ever?
All those fears was stopping emily to talk openly and do what
she really wanted, but she really have to give it a chance to fulfill her dreams.
In her
house there was a small room under the stairs, she decorated it by her own,
flourished it with a soft tea-pink color rug, placed a small book shelf on one
side, there was a mirror with a stand to place her stuff there and a comfy
small size sofa with a little table in front and a fan on top right corner, which
she always uses to stay there to focus on studies without any disturbance. That
place was not so big but really fine for two persons to sit and study there
comfortably.
One day emily
came to her parents and tried to talk to them but all of a sudden they got
surprised guests as her married sister came with her husband for a weekend, so
on this occasion she was not able to talk to them.
On next week she was going to her college all of a sudden a
story pop-up into her mind she kept thinking about the story and trying to find
the moral of her story but unfortunately couldn’t make it and sat on her first
class of the day. After some classes they have their free period as the English
teacher was absent today, she moved to her locker that was near under the
stairs, she took her notes and locked the cupboard she saw that there was a
small table with a chair. She moved forward the area was dusty and had cobwebs
but Emily found a journal open on the table. The journal belonged to
Mr.Thompson, emily’s English teacher, she read the journal and felt inspired.
Mr.Thompson wrote about being brave and facing fears, Emily felt
so motivated and started writing her own stories under the stairs. She completed
her two stories within a week and came to her parents with confidence and
showed to them. They became really happy for their daughter and supported her. They
said; “if that makes you happy than its better to focus on your passion along
with studies.”
Emily was not fond of studies but she accepted it as her
parents wish and continued writing along with studies under the stairs. Soon,
other students in college joined Emily, they also wrote, drew and shared their
dreams. The little secret place under the stairs became special and students
found courage and friendship there. Years past, but the legacy remained,
students still wrote under the stairs, finding strength in the shadows.
