Natasha's Prefect Investiture

I was selected to be a prefect this year. During the interview session , I was asked some tough questions by the Discipline Committee but i guess I did well enough to be selected. I told mum and dad on the interview and my interest to be a prefect. The interview was tough but convincing my mum and dad to allow me to be one was tougher especially my dad who was never a prefect in his school days but said that he did well in his studies. Hmmm how was that related.... ? After much persuasion and promises that I will not neglect my studies, they relented albeit unwillingly. Upon being appointed, I was given a little badge showing I am a 'Trainee Prefect'. The Prefect Investiture was held at the school hall and it was a solemn ceremony to appoint all the prefects officially, witnessed by all the students and teachers. I had 'butterfly in my stomach' as I went up the stage with the rest of the prefects. I could see bro1 who was sitting near the stage waving and smiling proudly but I could not wave back as we were supposed to stand smartly. We read the prefect's pledge and the principal gave a short speech. Upon the official appointment, each prefect was to adorn a tie and a namebadge. As prefects, we are to be role models in our studies and behaviour. That is tough but I will try to do my best !!
