If there was one thing that was common knowledge about Monde School for Girls, it's that everyone wants to go. From travelling the world to living the life as a boarding school student, most girls can only dream of going. It is said to be the most famous and prestigious boarding school in the world. Located in Cumbria in the north of England, it is situated before a lake and is surrounded by mountains. 

Every year, a girl from each country is selected to become a student at Monde School for Girls and complete her final two years of education there. A school is chosen at random in each country by the boarding school and the girls who attend the chosen school get to audition. 

However, Monde School for Girls is not just any regular boarding school, only girls with special talents can apply. In addition to Monde School for Girls being a multicultural school, it also teaches all types of talents from dancing to music to sport. At the end of the two years, competitions will be held for the chance to win a scholarship to pursue a career in the given talent.

This year, my school had been selected out of all of the girl schools in England to give the students a chance to showcase their talent and be given a once in a lifetime chance.

Having been urged by my mother to audition, I decided it was worth a shot. I had been playing the piano from the moment I learned to read and have never stopped since. I loved everything about it. From the sweet melodies to the breathtaking pieces performed by pianists, I adored it all. I even dreamed of writing my own song one day.

With butterflies in my stomach, I entered the local music hall in which the auditions were being held. Writing my name down on the list of people who were to audition today along with my talent, I quickly scanned through the names. Most I recognised and I knew quite a few would have an amazing shot at getting in. Sighing, I already felt dejected. Sitting down in the waiting room surrounded by all too eager girls, I drowned in my thoughts.

I had a problem with self esteem ever since a young age. I had tried to improve it many times before but nothing worked. I even tried therapy but I only lasted two sessions before I quit. Mum said that if I got into the boarding school it would boost my confidence, I hope she's right.

"Eleanor Hampton?" I heard my name being called and my eyes snapped up to look at a woman in her mid thirties smiling at me. "It's your turn."

Nodding, I rose to my feet and wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans. The nerves only grew stronger when I stepped up onto a near empty stage. Three judges sat before me and I repressed a shudder. They had to decide who was worthy enough of being offered a spot at the school.

"Whenever you're ready Ms. Hampton." The judges smiled warmly at me and motioned towards the middle of the stage. I looked at the piano, it was old and the wood was wearing away in some parts but the keys looked so inviting. No turning back now. I couldn't help myself when I sat down, running my fingers over the keys and soaked in the melody they made underneath my fingertips.
