The life of a person is made of lot’s of turns and way it could go, because of the choices we make or in early ages are made for us our live goes a certain way. But what happens if somewhere on the way we would have taken a different turn? Our lives would be different.
Josephine had a long way behind her. Her father had announced that her mother was very sick, it was Josephine that suggested to go to a boarding school. Colin Williams agreed and let her choose the boarding school. Well she always liked Concord because one of her favourite books was Little Women, she picked the Concord Academy. After a long boat trip from Southampton all the way to London she was glad to be at her new home to be. And since she didn’t like flying by plane she would spend the Christmas holiday in America. She was very excited about living in a boarding school, but at the same time was she terrified. She was younger because she skipped two classes, she was two years younger than all the other students. She got up early and hated it, breakfast here was a little different well everything was different here. She grew up without any rules at least in a way, since everyone who was looking after her was suppose to not make her upset. But she wasn’t as spoilt as you might turn out to be, she well adjusted to all the rules. Her father had signed everything that she could be very free while she was like here. Not to mention that she was one of the privileged of worrying about her laundry or anything like this. As a boarding student she arrived a week before the school started and by then she had read the rules and hand book twice, knew the entire history of her school by heart, and knew her way around campus. Only one thing she had to get used to, she had a roommate. Becky, was nice and a freshman just like her. But she was an American freshman and not used to Jo’s posh Oxford attitude.
It was her first day of class and her first class in the morning was History of America. She was first in class and noticed that instead of rows the tables where arranged in a circle. She sat down and took out her book, a new edition of Little Women. She didn’t mean to be rude, but she was too scared to think about talking to all the big kids. They were so much older.
“So is everyone here?” The teacher asked and let Jo startle she hadn’t notice her fellow classmates arrived or the teacher. “This class is American History 1, so let’s begin with something simple. Who can tell me when the USA first called itself USA?”
Jo’s hand shot in the air.
Another Way, Another Life
