Reminiscence
Kahea thought pensively about her college days as she made her way to the coffee table, stirring her tea absentmindedly, her spoon making soft clinking sounds against the glass cup.
“What will you do with a degree in English?” voices murmured. “A degree in computers, now that’s a solid deal”.
“You will get nowhere.”
“Writing isn’t a career.”
Kahea recollected their condemning tones, sneers and concerned looks as she reached for that day’s newspaper.
“Hmm…I look good”, she said, gazing approvingly at her photo next to the article that read: Kahea Sanders becomes the youngest writer to bag a Pulitzer.
