RE: STACH Short Story Contest #21: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SBD prize pool!

James was determined to get better grades this semester. His previous years result were poor thus, he was almost down with depression but after considering his background and the need to provide for his siblings being the eldest,he was spurred by the desire to make things better for them.
He and his siblings were orphans having lost their parents few years back.

Prior to this semester, he usually reads when exams were knocking on the door basically because he had to work part time to support himself;buying of school materials,feeding and other expenses. This led to rush to cover so much ground in so short a time.

He successfully balanced things up, reading at least 5 hours in the morning before school,after which he goes to work. This method proved quite effective against the one of previous years in which he planned to take time away from work and face his studies when the exams are close.The exams came this time he was able to walk out of each paper with a happy countenance.The results came;He did exceptionally well with his result enabling him to get a scholarship,a big bonus to him indeed.
