Post 6 (week 8) >> 2nd Free/Themed Post

 

My history! :)

It was just a girl from a small town; there were no emotions or adventure in her life. One day she woke up, feeling down, like nobody and nothing cares. She stand on her feet an looked up over the window. The view of main street was like a Sunday everyday, few people, few cars, the same people walking around the square. She thought, just one more year, only one. 

This girl was a senior student of the town’s High School, and she was a great one. She never find out, where her facilities to understand, and learn came from! Her mom was a housewife, she ended high school but she never felt the need or lack of knowledge, as her daughter Sophia (“S”). Her dad died soon enough to be just a shadow in S memories. But she did not know what destiny would bring her.

All days in that town were extremely long, nothing happened. If you go to the square you could get to know everyone’s life, the gossip was the most popular activity. “I can’t stand this people, how can they be happy with this whole situation, it’s frustrating, they waste their lifes, and there’s nothing more stupid that waste our limited time here on earth, I need to do great things”- S said in a whisper. That night she could not sleep, millions of ideas came on and off her head.  It was time for a change, but what kind of change? What direction? I can not be here the rest of my life- she thougth

It was January 2d, a cold morning, the school was all at the gym for a meeting, there were two really tall guys, with a really “academical” face. He, Jeff, opened his mouth and made an offer that no one, neither S, can reject. He said “I came to this school to invite the most brilliant an talented students, to encourage them, to be part of a really exclusive fellowship, I invite you to ah intership to the investigation of the Large Hadrons Collider in France. This is a mayor opportunity, for you to develop your skills and take it to another level”. Whaaat?!  S felt how her hart started thumping, she never even imagine an opportunity this big, actually huge!, It’s a life changing experience.  The chance she had always dreamed.

She apply to this internship, with excellent grades, a really long résumé, pretty impressive for some one of her age, and from a small town with lacks of technology.

Once she was in France, for her 6 months experience, everything was so unreal, access to qualified information, brilliants professionals, she not even eat, trying to save her time to improve her sciences knowledge, she learned, and everyone noted this, she scaled to a high profile position in the organization, she became senior researcher, then director of de investigation.

She finally felt peace, she did everything she wanted to do, now lays in bed just resting an feeling free, then the phone ring, it was a Sweden call, it was hard to understand the accent, when she heard the words, NOBEL PRIZE, “I WON, I WON”  she felt the euphoria  in every cell of her thin body.

Then the sound of the church's bell wake her up, she looked out through the window, and saw all their neighbors, in the square, gossip, before mass.
