---- Chapter 7 Soon, the SAT results were out. I was extremely relieved to see that my scores qualified me for a guaranteed spot at Southwell University. Even Mom and Dad hugged me and exclaimed in delight, "I knew you could do it, Matt!" Ms. Brown sent me a message asking me to head to school to complete my college application. As soon as I left the house, I saw Eliza leaning against a car with Carl standing beside her. When she saw me, she quickly ushered me into the car as well. And once we were inside, she couldn't resist asking me about my results. It looked like she was rather excited. She eagerly talked all about what life would be like for us once we got to Northcrest. I could tell she was pleased with her results as well. Carl, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, took this all in. When I inadvertently looked over, I could see that his eyes were dark with jealousy. ---- Once we arrived at school, he walked beside me and warned, "Don't forget what you said!" He needn't have wasted his time worrying about that. With my back toward Eliza, I quickly filled in my college application form. When she tried to peek at mine, I closed the tab. Worried that she would question me, I said, "Oh, I misclicked." Eliza didn't suspect a thing. Meanwhile, Carl had seen what I'd typed, to which he let out a barely noticeable exhale of relief. All that was left now was to wait for the college acceptance letter. Once I got mine, I left for Southwell at once. No one, besides my parents, knew where I was headed. Mom and Dad told me that Eliza waited outside our apartment building for two days. When there was still no sign of me, she knocked on every door until she found our unit. My parents told her I'd left for college, but she ---- refused to believe I would abandon her like that. She tearfully begged them to tell her where I'd gone off to, but thankfully, they didn't say anything to her. In the end, it was Carl who had to come and take Eliza away. The weather at Southwell was rather different from what I was used to. When I first came, I couldn't get used to it. I kept getting sore throats every other day. Since college hadn't started yet, I took on a part-time job and spent the rest of my time traveling around the region. As time passed, I got used to the environment down here. By the time my first semester of college officially began, I was fully adjusted to my new life. I even got along well with my fellow students and professors. The years of college went by in a flash. In my senior year, I had to complete an internship. Everyone else chose to take up a teaching internship in various major cities. But without a shred of hesitation, I chose ---- to volunteer as a teacher in the rural region of Westridge. After being reborn, I no longer cared about fame or prestige. I just wanted to help more children by equipping them with the means to take charge of their destiny.
