Here's Episode 1 of your series, introducing the main character and including lessons in Physics, Further Mathematics, and Marketing as if I’m teaching you.

Episode 1: The Dream of a Businesswoman

In the bustling town of Brightfield, a young woman named Amara sat in her SS3 classroom, her eyes filled with determination. She had a dream—to become a successful businesswoman. But first, she had to conquer her upcoming WAEC and JAMB exams.

Beside her sat her best friend, Deborah, who always encouraged her.

"Amara, you study too much!" Deborah teased.

"You know I have to," Amara laughed. "I need to ace these exams if I want to get into a good university and start my business journey."

The bell rang, and their Physics teacher, Mr. Ade, walked in.

Physics Lesson: Motion and Newton’s Laws

"Good morning, class!" Mr. Ade greeted. "Today, we’ll be discussing Newton’s Laws of Motion. Can anyone remind us of the first law?"

Amara raised her hand. "Sir, Newton’s First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force."

"Excellent! This is also called the Law of Inertia," Mr. Ade explained. "For example, if a car is moving at a constant speed and you suddenly apply the brakes, your body wants to keep moving forward because of inertia. That’s why wearing a seatbelt is important!"

Deborah whispered, "So inertia is the reason I almost fell when the bus driver stopped suddenly this morning?"

"Exactly!" Amara smiled.

Mr. Ade continued, "Now, Newton’s Second Law states that Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = ma). This means that the heavier an object is, the more force is required to move it. For example, if you push a small box versus a big box, which one moves faster?"

"The small box!" the class responded.

"Good! Now, let’s talk about the Third Law—‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’ When you jump off a boat, you push the boat backward while moving forward. That’s Newton’s Third Law in action!"

After the Physics class, it was time for Further Mathematics with Mr. Olumide.

Further Mathematics Lesson: Differentiation

"Class, today, we’ll dive into Differentiation," Mr. Olumide announced. "Differentiation helps us find the rate of change of a function."

Amara was excited. She knew this was important for business—especially for analyzing profits and trends.

"Let’s start with a simple function:

y=x2y = x^2To differentiate this, we use the power rule, which states:

ddxxn=nxn−1\frac{d}{dx} x^n = n x^{n-1}So, for y = x², we bring down the power (2) and subtract one from the exponent:

dydx=2x2−1=2x\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x^{2-1} = 2xThis means the slope of the function at any point x is 2x."

Deborah frowned. "Sir, how does this help in real life?"

"Great question!" Mr. Olumide smiled. "Imagine you own a business, and your profit depends on how much you sell. Differentiation helps you find the rate at which your profit is increasing or decreasing, so you know when to invest more or change your strategy."

The final class of the day was Marketing, taught by Mrs. Adebayo.

Marketing Lesson: The 4Ps of Marketing

"Good afternoon, class! Today, we’re learning about the 4Ps of Marketing: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. These are the foundation of any successful business."

Amara quickly wrote them down. She knew she would use this knowledge in the future.

Product – "This is what you sell. It could be clothes, food, phones, or even services like tutoring."

Price – "The amount customers are willing to pay. You must set a price that covers your cost but is still affordable for customers."

Place – "Where you sell your product. Is it online, in a shop, or in a market?"

Promotion – "How you advertise. Do you use social media, TV ads, or word-of-mouth?"

Mrs. Adebayo smiled. "Amara, since you want to be a businesswoman, which of these do you think is the most important?"

Amara thought for a moment. "Promotion! Even if I have a great product, no one will buy it if they don’t know about it."

"Brilliant answer!" the teacher praised.

As the school day ended, Amara and Deborah walked home.

"Today’s lessons were great," Amara said. "I learned how motion affects real life, how differentiation helps in business, and how to market a product!"

"One day, you’ll own a big company, and I’ll remind you of this moment," Deborah laughed.

Amara smiled. "One day."

Episode 2: The WAEC Challenge

The long-awaited WAEC (West African Examinations Council) exams had finally arrived. SS3 students at Brightfield High School were filled with mixed emotions—some were confident, while others were nervous.

Amara sat at the front row of the exam hall, her heart pounding. This was the moment that would determine her future. Beside her, Deborah whispered, "We’ve prepared for this, Amara. We’ve got this!"

The invigilator, Mr. Benson, walked in, carrying a sealed brown envelope.

"Good morning, candidates," he announced. "You are about to begin your WAEC Further Mathematics Paper. Remember, no malpractice! If you’re caught, you will be disqualified."

The tension in the room increased as he tore open the envelope and distributed the question papers.

WAEC Further Mathematics Exam

Amara took a deep breath and looked at the first question:

1. Differentiate f(x)=3x2+5x−7f(x) = 3x^2 + 5x - 7

She smiled. Differentiation? Easy!

Using the power rule:

ddx(axn)=naxn−1\frac{d}{dx} (ax^n) = nax^{n-1}She solved:

f′(x)=3(2)x2−1+5(1)x1−1−0f'(x) = 3(2)x^{2-1} + 5(1)x^{1-1} - 0=6x+5= 6x + 5She quickly moved to the next question:

2. Find the integral of 4x3+2x4x^3 + 2xwith respect toxx.

Using the integration rule:

∫axndx=axn+1n+1+C\int ax^n dx = \frac{ax^{n+1}}{n+1} + CShe solved:

∫(4x3+2x)dx=4x3+14+2x1+12+C\int (4x^3 + 2x) dx = \frac{4x^{3+1}}{4} + \frac{2x^{1+1}}{2} + C=x4+x2+C= x^4 + x^2 + CShe continued solving with full concentration.

WAEC Physics Exam

A few days later, it was time for Physics Paper 1 (Objective).

One question caught Amara’s eye:

1. A boy kicks a football with a force of 50N\, and it accelerates at 2 m/s². Find the mass of the ball.

She remembered Newton’s Second Law:

F=maF = maRearranging for mass:

m=Fa=502=25kgm = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{50}{2} = 25 kgAnother question was:

2. What is the refractive index if the speed of light in air is 3.0×1083.0 \times 10^8m/s and in glass is2.0×1082.0 \times 10^8m/s?

Using the formula:

n=cvn = \frac{c}{v}n=3.0×1082.0×108=1.5n = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8}{2.0 \times 10^8} = 1.5She shaded her answers carefully, double-checking everything.

WAEC Marketing Exam

In the Marketing paper, one of the essay questions was:

1. Explain the differences between a sole proprietorship and a partnership.

Amara wrote:

Sole Proprietorship: A business owned by one person. The owner takes all the profits but also bears all the risks. Example: A small grocery store.

Partnership: A business owned by two or more people. Profits and risks are shared. Example: A law firm.

Another question was:

2. What are the functions of advertising in business?

She wrote:

Creates awareness – Helps customers know about a product.

Increases sales – Encourages people to buy.

Builds brand loyalty – Makes customers trust a brand.

Persuades consumers – Shows why a product is better than competitors’.

The End of WAEC

After two weeks of non-stop exams, WAEC finally ended. Amara and Deborah sat outside the school, feeling relieved.

"We did it!" Deborah cheered.

"I just hope my results come out well," Amara said.

"Don’t worry, we prepared well," Deborah reassured her. "Now, let’s focus on JAMB!"

Amara nodded. Her dream of becoming a businesswoman was just beginning.

Episode 3: WAEC Results Are Out!

It had been months since Amara and her classmates wrote their WAEC exams, and the anticipation was at its peak. Everyone was waiting anxiously for the results to be released.

One evening, as Amara was reading a business article on her phone, her best friend Deborah called her, screaming with excitement.

"Amara! WAEC results are out!"

Amara’s heart skipped a beat. "Are you serious?"

"Yes! Check yours now!"

With shaky hands, Amara quickly opened the WAEC result-checking portal on her phone. She entered her Examination Number, PIN, and Year, then tapped ‘Check Result’.

The screen loaded for a few seconds, and then… her results appeared.

Deborah laughed. "I told you, Amara! You worked hard for this!"

"What about yours?" Amara asked.

Deborah quickly checked hers. "I passed too! I got A1 in English and B2 in Maths!"

They both screamed with joy.

The next day at school, the entire SS3 class was buzzing with discussions about their results. Some students were celebrating, while a few looked sad.

Their class teacher, Mr. Benson, walked in with a smile. "Congratulations to all of you! You’ve made us proud. Now, it’s time to focus on JAMB!"

Amara took a deep breath. One challenge was over, but another one was coming. She was ready.

Episode 4: Preparing for JAMB

It had been a few weeks since the WAEC results were released, and students at Brightfield High School were now focused on their next big challenge—JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) exams.

Amara sat in her usual seat in class, flipping through her JAMB past questions booklet. Her dream of becoming a businesswoman was getting closer, but she needed to pass JAMB with a high score to get into her desired university.

Beside her, Deborah sighed. "Amara, I'm tired! We’ve been studying every day."

Amara laughed. "If we want to pass, we have no choice!"

Their class teacher, Mr. Benson, entered and made an announcement.

"Students, we will be conducting a JAMB Mock Exam next week to test your readiness. The subjects will be based on your UTME subject combination."

A wave of murmurs spread across the classroom. Some students looked excited, while others groaned in frustration.

Choosing UTME Subjects

During break time, Amara and Deborah sat under a tree, discussing their JAMB subject combination.

"I’m picking English, Mathematics, Economics, and Marketing," Amara said. "Those are important for Business Administration."

Deborah nodded. "Mine will be English, Government, Literature, and CRS because I want to study Law."

Their friend, James, who was good at Science, joined the conversation. "I’m choosing English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for Medicine."

Everyone had different goals, but they all knew that JAMB would be tough.

JAMB Mock Exam Day

The Mock Exam day finally arrived. The school hall was set up just like the real JAMB exam, with computer systems arranged in rows.

Amara sat in front of her computer, waiting for the CBT (Computer-Based Test) to start. The invigilator gave instructions:

**"You have 2 hours to answer 180 questions:

English: 60 questions

Other subjects: 40 questions each

Good luck!"**

As the timer started, Amara quickly went to work.
