I Overslept on the Morning of My Crucial College Entrance Exams Because Someone Turned off My Alarm
On the morning of my medical college entrance exam, I woke up late at 9:55 a.m., my alarms mysteriously disabled. Panicked, I realized I’d miss the 10:00 a.m. test. My stepmom, Linda, dismissed my pleas for a ride, coldly suggesting I wasn’t cut out for med school. As I rushed to leave, my 8-year-old brother, Jason, revealed he saw Linda turn off my alarms to sabotage me, believing it a waste of money. Sirens approached—Jason had called the police. He bravely told them Linda’s actions, and the officers escorted me to the exam center, sirens
blaring. Despite the closed doors, a proctor let me in after hearing my story. I took the test, fueled by thoughts of my late mom and my dream to become a doctor. Exhausted but relieved, I returned home to Jason’s proud smile. My dad, furious, confronted Linda, who admitted her selfishness. He ordered her to leave. Jason and I watched her go, feeling justice. My dream survived, thanks to my little hero.
