ADAORA – EPISODE 1

 MY FAMILY

My Name Is Adaora. I’m a JSS3 student of Easylife model college, funny? Well, that’s probably because I’m the dullest person in the world. I’m from a family of four children,the eldest and the only girl.

My father, Engr. Olusegun Smith, worked with the defunct NITEL, and is now into some businesses. Tall and handsome despite his age, my father is the perfect definition of a perfect gentleman, who despite my failures has never ceased to encourage me(i kept on disappointing him though). He loves all his children equally despite the younger ones doing well than the eldest.

My mother, Nnenna Bassey-Smith, serves as a vice principal in a government secondary school. She’s the complete opposite of my father(wonder how they fell in love).Short,dark and in her early forties,she always reminds me of how useless and hopeless I was, always comparing me to my brothers and classmates. She loves her children equally too but hates failure(reason it seems she hates me).

Oluwole Smith was born two years after me. He attends the same school as me and is in sss2. Like my father,he is always advising and encouraging me. Despite him being my senior in school, he has never for once disrespected me both at home and in school. He is currently the acting senior prefect of Easylife model college senior school and is even planning to write Waec Gce this year.
Pamilerin smith is 13 years old and is in the same class as I am. Named after my grandfather, he is the perfect definition of a “spoilt brat”,so disrespectful, mostly to me, both at home and in school. He is currently the social prefect of Easylife model college junior school. Tall, dark and handsome,he’s the crush of many girls at his age. My parents do not cease to advise him to face his studies,he listens to them,but not to me.

The baby of the house,Tochukwu Smith, is the last member of my family. 8 years old and in primary 5, he is a very brilliant lad. He was given double promotion from primary 1 to primary 3 and from primary 3 to primary 5.He is currently preparing for his common entrance exams into Easylife model college.
Me? I’m dark,tall and beautiful(beauty without brains). I’ve repeated classes upon classes, my mother had once spoken of withdrawing me to her school, her reason was they can’t continue wasting money while i keep disappointing them. My father refused, promising her I’ll do better the next term, I kept on failing.
