All started in the Salvatore's mansion, when I set my eyes on this stunning fairy, a dignitary daughter, Millicent Salvatore. I am a man with moderate means thus said I was in search of job like any other young adult in twenties only that I was slightly below that realm , was nineteen years and a month. I relocated from my suburb home into the city of Sarasota and I do not pass appeal or whatsoever but I can only say that am 'God favored' with little English and basic education only I got employed by a rich man, Jack Salvatore, a local tyrant in the city of Sarasota who had his hands in any form of business and politics. A man of influence. And I was his houseboy. On the eve of Christmas of that year 2020, I met this beauty Millicent, she was lovely, sweet, kind, she was everything a man could desire from a woman. I recall having conversation with her about my education.
'Have you given up ever furthering your studies?' she asked with concern.
'it's too late now. I can't go back to School.'
'But you can study at home privately,' she suggested. 'There are correspondence schools and they are cheap and efficient.'
'I am not the type that can study on my own. Even with a teacher I failed.'
She gave me an encouraging smile. 'Everything is possible if there is devotion and stamina. You can make it if you want to.'
For a while , I was convinced by her remarks. Then I started wondering why she was concerned about my poor merit in life.
'Teddy,' she said seriously, 'take a correspondence course for the sake of your future. Without good education, the prospects for your future are dismal. Surely you don't wish to be a houseboy for the rest of your life.'
I felt ashamed. For the first time, I wondered why I hadn't thought about the betterment of my future before. Was I going to remain a houseboy for the rest of my life?
'I could help you,' she said abruptly. 'I'll enroll with a correspondence school as soon as possible.' And I meant business.
Women can make men do wonders. Especially if the man is in pursuit of a woman far above his social class. Following Millicent's advice, I became a student-cum-houseboy. I studied all sorts of funny subjects: Geography – how cold it is in Greenland, why the earth is round and not flat like a tray; why the sun looks like small lump, yet it is bigger than our Earth; gravity -how this is powerful force tends to pull everything towards itself… is it gravity or gluttony? History -Christopher Columbus… the man who could live in ocean like a fish but who couldn't tell the difference between India and America…Patels and Apaches were the same thing to him.
