Prospective Student

His heart pumps in a speedy tempo. He feels exhausted but eager and he will not give up. He climbs an unsturdy cliff which leads to an important place to him. The student feels nervous but proud of himself as he finally gets to feel solid ground under his feet. The boy knocks on the door loudly hoping he would get a reply.

The master of that school opened the wide and heavy doors. The boy notices the master and takes a deep bow to greet him. As the master sees the young boy, he directed him away. The boy was extremely dissapointed and felt rejected as the man turned him away.

The boy took a deep breath and sat down to meditate through the night. The master came back hoping the boy wouldn’t still be there but was let down as he saw the boy sitting near the staircase. The boy stood up and the master sent him away for the second time. The master then left and slammed the giant doors behind him.

The boy would not give up, he was determined to get into that school so he clenched his fists and busted down the double doors, ready to fight the master. The master came out once again and pointed to a sign that said ‘Please use side entrance’. The boy felt embarrassed when he finally saw that the master was telling him to use another door. The boy now knows that it is always a good thing to listen to a master.
