As I walked towards the principal to shake hands I heard a big whoop from the audience. I looked down and saw two people standing on their feet clapping and cheering loudly. It was Mum and Dad. My eyes filled with tears as I looked at their smiling faces. I knew they were happy. In spite of all the dangers and hardships they had faced Mum and Dad had always told me to have hope and to believe that everything would turn out in the end. And it did.
