Girl

New Year Day.
Family Day.
Driving around in Exeter Centre,
Trying to find an ideal place for a family dinner.

The Chinese Restaurant was not open.
Boys suggested the nearby Pizza Hut.
It's surprisingly...........quiet.
And we'd a surprise encounter.

My wife & I were impressed by a young waitress.
She's Professional : Tidy Uniform, Tidy Hair & Tidy up table Quietly.
She's Alert, always looking to see if she could help.
She showed Respect, looking at your eyes when speaking.

We guessed she's a student.
Most likely attending a top uni.
And we're right.
She's attending Oxford for medical training.

She told us she's from a local comprehensive college.
It's hard as most students did not seem to work hard.
2 of her friends also applying Oxford.
But she's the only got accepted.

I asked her what had been motivating her.
She replied without thinking,
'To make my mum Proud.
She's done so much for me.'

I later told my boys.
'This girl is amusing. Self-Motivated. Totally Focus.
She's NOT even from a grammar school.
She's proven that ' As long as there's a Will, there's a way'

'She wants to make her mum Proud.
But for me,
It's NOT about getting into Oxford, Cambridge, IC...
'It's NOT about making me or your mum Proud.

'It's about making YOURSELF Proud.
Proving to Yourself that you can be whatever you want to be,
Provided that you put in the time & effort, never give up.
All your hard work will pay off One Day...just like that girl.'
