Chapter 1- Interview

*Outside Briefing Room*

                        “Among twenty of you only ten will get through the interview. Just do your best and don’t be nervous. Good luck!” Mrs. Afi, our discipline mistress, voiced out to us.

                         “Good luck!” Mrs. Emmy, my form teacher, encouraged us. I could sense nervousness in her voice. Mrs. Afi and Mrs. Emmy were two of the five teachers who were testing us in the interview. Including Mrs. Hyun, my principal, was six. We were selected for ushering an event that would happen during our holidays after each school term. The event? - Korean Idols coming to my school. I thought it was the best thing that ever happened in my life! Teachers selecting me- best feeling. I was really overwrought but anxious as well. But before I tell you more, here is the introduction of the teacher testing us and also ushering the event.

                                  Two female teachers- Mrs. Afi and Mrs. Emmy. Both of them were nice and funny but Mrs. Afi is the stricter one. Three male teachers- Mr. Art, Mr. Hong and Mr. Park. Mr. Hong and Mr. Park were very strict teachers and they were not the teachers that we, students, would confide. We tell personal problems to them, instead of advising they would just lecture us. Mr. Art is different. He is like a friend more than a teacher. We could even joke around with him. And lastly, our principal, Mrs. Hyun. She is nice and kind. She also can be a friend. Never heard of a principal being your friend, right? That is introduction of the teachers that will be testing us. And now onto the story.

                     Mrs. Hyun came and talked to us before the interview begin. She told us to stay calm and relaxed.

                     “Easy for her to say,” I thought- I wasn’t being rude but my mind was in turmoil. I couldn’t control what I was thinking. By the time I tried to control myself I realized that Mrs. Hyun already went into the briefing room.  The other teacher who wasn’t testing us, Ms. Safi, our Counselor, started to read out names. One by one went into the room and the others stayed outside, waiting for their turn to be called.

                      My anxiousness grew more and more. I was starting to sweat and my throat went dry. Yes, I was very, very nervous. My close friend, Eilee, looked at me. From my expression, she knew very well that I was going to flunk my interview if I was that nervous. She then took my hand and told me:

                    “Unnie, don’t be so nervous. You can do it. Fighting!” she encouraged me, with her sweet tone. I felt much more at ease after hearing that. Then I tried to relax myself and I took deep breaths- my way of calming down my racing and terrified heart.

                     After a while, the teacher called out:

                    “Kyu Ni, it is your turn now.”

                     I stood up and walked towards the room, but even before entering the room, I turned back. I saw my friends waving at me and wishing me good luck. Ms. Safi tapped my shoulder and she whispered in my ear:

                   “See, your friends are counting on you to make it through with them. You must make them proud. Good luck! Be confident of yourself!”

                      With her words in my mind, I stepped into the room. I saw the teachers and the principal far right at the end of the room, sitting in one straight, horizontal role. I lift up my head and I was confident of myself. I didn’t feel nervous anymore. Then I sat down on the chair that was in front of them and waited for them to start throwing questions at me. I was prepared.
