Exemption accepted

  Hi! If you're wondering what's 'exemption', then I'll tell you. Exemption means that you're not taking Mother Tongue anymore. My mother applied for total exemption for me and my brother when I was Primary 2, but we discovered that total exemption can only be applied to from the start of a new school. So my mum applied for exemption, and in lieu of Chinese, we were going to take French. Our first application was turned down, So we tried again. This time, the wait was very long, and the school year had started. My brother's exemption letter had arrived on Wednesday, but mine hadn't. But on Friday, it did! My mother was sleeping when she received a call from Miss Judy from the General Office, and she said that my exemption letter had arrived! When I heard about it, I was so excited to not have any more Chinese Exams that I nearly blasted off in to the sky! But instead, I just stood there, frozen with relief. My exemption was accepted now. I couldn't believe it. But it was true. I was happy and relieved, and that's the story of how my exemption got accepted.
