The silence of the stars was too much that it daunted her. She longed and waited anxiously for the wishing star to make a wish. It was the only savior of the night that she counted on, particularly because she couldn't find sleep. Sleep deprivation was melting the edges off her entire concentration as she fitfully searched for the fainted glow, of any star that seemed bright enough. The anticipation of the following day had proved to be more thrilling than she could contain.
Linda was a twenty four year old, whose ambition was brighter than the moon and the stars. In her entire life, she had put so much hard work because she knew that she deserved a good life. In fact, she had passed so well with good grades that had guaranteed her a partial scholarship in the United States. She had pursued and successfully completed her internatinal law degree. She had always wanted to become the best lawyer not only in Kenya, but the rest of the African continent. That dream offered her an inexplicable exhilaration that always overwhelmed and lifted her heart to dazzling heights.
