Epilogue of "Hope"

In Nightingale Academy, the students had just finished their third term examination for the 2017/2018 session. The JSS 3 students however, didn’t take part in the examination as they have written the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) few weeks before. Since they wrote the BECE, Ayo along with Funmi and Oreoluwa had had ample time to study well for the competition. They believed they are more prepared than ever.
Meanwhile, the duo of Perfect and Emmanuel also looked forward to the competition. They had just finished their examination a day before and started preparing for the Mathematics Olympiad.
