Back at home I couldn't hold in my excitement anymore so I ran upstairs into my mum's room and told her the good news I went in and saw my mom asleep well it wasn't my place to wake her up, but I couldn't hold in the excitement any longer I called her out "mom ,mom" she finally woke up turn to the direction of the voice and saw that it was me and said "oh sweetie your ba…" she couldn't finish her statement "i got the job mom" all excited "what oh my God well that's a goodnews" mom said I'm happy for and proud of you"she said hugging me "congratulations" she said once more "we should celebrate?" mom asked "well not quite sure" "when are you going to start" "Tommorrow" "thats nice I shouldn't bore go,go prepare"mom said then she hugged me.

When I got to my room I called my friend ayra "hello bestie" hello you got the job?" asking curiously there was silence they I finally spoke up "yess!"what are you serious""yeah" congratulations I'm happy for you""awwwnn thank you,so tell me did you get yours" "i did" ayra said "oh my gosh that's great news" I said with excitement "right" ayra replied then we both laughed we talked for quite sometime before I hung up and went downstairs for a snack. When I saw mom making Arancini which is an Italian snack. Arancini are big golden rice balls filled with a savory combination of ingredients in the center well this time mom added lots of beef which I love and less of cheese don't get me wrong I love cheese but too much no. My mom turned and saw me then she said "come on khole you know that I can see you right"she said with a smile I returned the smile and said "im hungry mom I feel like my organs are gonna pop out" I said and gave her a little chuckle "well I am almost done dear go wait for me at the table.

At the table the snacks where set we were eating Jasmine asked "have you prepared the things you need for tommorow" "yes I have mom you I can't wait" I said. We both stayed up talking while watching a movie together when mom check the time "oh it's five already let me hurry up and prepare dinner honey"she said "dont worry mom I will make …."mom didn't let me complete my word she said "no I don't want to stress you dear you know that tommorow is your first day at work so don't stress yourself out dear I will do it ok?

After eating I went back to my room to sleep after telling mom good night of course.Because I have a big day tomorrow yeah I met the CEO Mr Xavier himself but I still had to met the other co-workers I already made a good first time impression on Mr Xavier so I need to do the same with the other workers although I won't be mingling with them but I still had to ,this was my thoughts before she slept off.
