My name is Salome Naomi.
I am a student at Eldridge University.
I have been the topper of my class since freshman year.
You might be wondering what my secret is.
Well, first of all, I study very hard.
Before any examination, I make sure I solve all my past question papers.
That way, I get to know the pattern of the question and the things I need to concentrate on.
I have teachers who like me and appreciate my efforts.
They are always ready to help me.
My Headmistress loves me personally; she has even given me a special scholarship.
There are times when my classmates get jealous of me and make so many bad comments about me, but I never gave them a chance to ruin my day or make me feel bad about myself.
I have a roommate who always helps me with my assignment and gives me words of encouragement every time I feel like giving up.
I spread the stack of past question papers across my desk, arranging them in chronological order from 2015 to 2022.
My highlighter hovered over the first page as I scanned through Professor Mitchell's Advanced Calculus exams.
Evelyn brought me a cup of coffee, setting it carefully between my notebooks.
The afternoon light dimmed while I worked through each paper, marking important theorems and circling tricky derivatives.
My hand cramped from taking detailed notes, but I pushed through, determined to master every possible question variation.
Something peculiar caught my eye in the 2019 paper.
Professor Mitchell always included a complex integration problem in section B, question 4.
I flipped backward through the stack, verifying that every exam followed this pattern.
My heart raced as I pulled out my notebook and created a detailed chart, tracking how these problems evolved over time.
Each year, Professor Mitchell slightly modified the integration technique, but the core approach remained consistent.
Evelyn peered over my shoulder as I explained my discovery, and we spent the next hour mastering every variation of these problems.
Professor Mitchell's Advanced Calculus class was about to begin, and I had already taken my seat at the back left corner.
The familiar rustling of papers filled the room as he distributed our graded exams.
When he reached my desk, he paused, a slight smile crossing his face.
I flipped through the exam, meticulously checking each solution.
Red checkmarks adorned every page, with only one minor arithmetic error in the last problem.
Professor Mitchell announced my score to the class - 99 percent, breaking the previous record of 97.
Evelyn, seated two rows behind me, gave me a thumbs up.
After class, I strolled through the administrative wing, my graded exam still clutched in hand.
The Headmistress's secretary waved me through without a word, leading me to the oak-paneled office where Headmistress Warner sat behind her massive desk.
She beckoned me to take a seat as she studied something on her monitor.
Her gaze shifted to my recent exam results, displayed beside a photo of me taken during freshman orientation.
"Salome Naomi, consistently topping your class and setting new records. Your academic prowess is truly exceptional. I must commend you on your latest calculus score - 99 percent is no easy feat."
I nodded graciously, humbled by her praise.
She leaned forward, her hands clasped together.
"As you are aware, Eldridge University is committed to fostering a supportive environment for all students. In this spirit, we are launching a mentorship program designed to pair upperclassmen with first-year students. These mentors will serve as guides and role models, providing valuable insights and advice throughout their academic journey. I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected as one of the inaugural captains for this initiative."
"Me, a captain?" I asked, surprised by the unexpected honor.
"Indeed," Headmistress Warner replied, her eyes twinkling with approval. "Your leadership skills and academic excellence make you the perfect candidate to inspire others."
"But what if I'm not ready for this responsibility?" I hesitated, feeling the weight of the new role.
