Chapter 97 Expensive Tuition

Although Neil was assessed by this one, Neil obeyed his parents' wishes. After the nobleman finished assessing all his classmates, his parents went up to thank them and asked for their names, so that they could remember this important moment for Neil. Helping people.

It may be that the other four people except the old man did it on purpose, because when all the assessments were over, among the ten people who were admitted except Neil, none of them made a hit, shooting posture, breakthrough layup as standard as Neil, Moreover, some of their assessment classmates even encountered dummies, none of whom scored zero, and none of them had such beautiful pictures as Neil, but their scores in each item were two or three points higher than Neil.

This made the old man face the other four people with cold eyes from time to time, but he still didn't say anything, but when they assessed the other four black boys, they still discriminated against and looked at them differently as they did when Neil was assessed before, which made the old man have to whisper They said that they were racially discriminatory, and they did not implement the school's school motto and school-running philosophy at all, but they still ignored the old man's words and ignored them at all. As a result, the old man could bring Neil back from the brink of death, but he could not. Pull back one or two other black boys who also performed quite well, because the four of them were given six points by each of them in the previous assessment of Neil, thinking that the old man would not oppose them and would not let Neil pass, They wouldn't give full marks, but in the end they fell for it. The old man gave full marks and let Neil pass. This time, when the other four black boys were assessed, they played with four and five points each time, because even If the old man gives full marks, they will also be eliminated.

Among the last 11 people admitted, only Neil was the luckiest of the five black students, and he was the only black student.

After the assessment, the four assessment interviewers felt aggrieved, because during the entire assessment interview, the oldest old man was against them, and they didn't want to see him for a moment, so the four of them left go.

Only the old man seems to have his own unique ideas in his heart, he has been sitting in his seat, not knowing what the meaning is.

When the elegant female teacher reminded loudly that the students who passed the assessment should stay, the students who failed the assessment and their parents left in an orderly manner, and the students who failed the assessment had to leave in frustration accompanied by their parents, and only the admitted students were left. eleven students and their parents.

Then, the elegant female teacher handed them only eleven official admission notices, with an additional sentence in the lower right corner: This student has passed the special basketball assessment. And excuses for refusing to join the Alexander University Affiliated High School team.

After handing over the official admission notice to eleven students, their parents took them to register and sign up. Afterwards, the elegant female teacher was also very temperamental, and greeted the old man and other students and parents present. With a slight smile, he walked away with steady steps.

Except for Neil and his parents, everyone left. Only his family and the kind-faced old man were left in the gymnasium.

Louis hurriedly took his wife and son up to greet the old man.

The old man sat on the spot calmly, did not turn his head to look, and did not pay special attention to their intentions, only heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching him.

Louis took his wife and son and walked to the front of the seat with a smile on his face. Louis took his wife and son and bowed to the old man: "Thank you, old man. If it weren't for you today, Neil probably wouldn't have had the chance gone."

"Young man, don't thank me. I just think your son is very talented in basketball and I don't want to miss him. That's why I gave him this chance. Besides, passing the examination doesn't count, and you need to pay expensive tuition fees. That's the end of it." .”

"Thank you for reminding me, by the way, my name is Luis, and this is my wife, Nuana, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Ryan Kawhi, and I am the basketball coach of this high school team."

"It's no wonder that when the four teachers were prejudiced against us black people just now, you didn't fear them at all, and you always insisted on your position. Your spirit and quality are worth learning from."

"Louis, you don't know. Over the years, being a basketball coach is not easy. Every year, there will always be some school teachers who don't meet my selection criteria and always fight against people. I think good people, They don't think it's good, they feel that they have no potential and no talent. As a result, the whole school team is lucky. I have a unique vision. Every year, I will always select one or two kids with extraordinary potential and talent, so that I can maintain the reputation of this high school. , Hey... Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be so many basketball-loving kids who want to choose this high school today!"

"Yes, sir, it's not easy to do anything. I also worked as a basketball coach at Wentz Elementary School for three years before, and I always felt a lot of pressure."

Louis said that he used to be a basketball coach, and suddenly he stood up from his chair and asked with a kind smile on his face, "You used to be a primary school basketball coach?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Then you also paid for your son's basketball?"

"To tell you the truth, he started to touch the ball when he was three years old, and it was indeed taught by me. I am also average in the game. It's just that he likes this sport and is more diligent, so he is better than ordinary children. .” Louis replied eloquently.

Ryan Kawhi looked at the humble and eloquent Louis, and then at his stature and height. He admired him very much and wanted to hire him as his teaching assistant, but he didn't dare to make any promises directly. To employ people, you have to apply and recommend to the Human Resources Department first, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and hurriedly shifted his gaze to Neil and said, "Louis, to tell you the truth, I like Neil very much." , he’s polite, caring, and has a lot of talent and potential in basketball.”

"Sir, he still has many shortcomings. Looking back, you will point out and teach me a lot."

"This is no problem, as long as he is willing to learn, I'm still willing to hand it in."

Louis looked at Neal and said, "Say thank you to the coach!"

"Thank you, Coach!" Neil said with a busy smile.

"you are welcome!"

"By the way, hurry up and sign up, otherwise it will be late." Ryan Kawhi then reminded them.

"Okay, then let's go first, goodbye!" They smiled back.

Then, Ryan Kawhi waved to them, and they waved to the old man.

Ryan Kawhi took a conscious look at their attire again, they didn't look like a rich family at all, he was very worried that they would be helpless in the face of expensive tuition fees, and he also liked Neil very much, and was very optimistic about his He didn't know what to do with his basketball talent and potential. He applied for full bursaries and scholarships for him before he started school. Basically, he had no conditions and no chances. superior.

Neil came to the registration window with his parents, and handed the admission notice that passed the assessment to the toll collector. After the toll collector read it, he looked at Louis, Nuana and Neil and said, "You guys are special admissions, and the registration fee is paid every semester. $8000, $16000 a year, did you bring enough money?"

Hearing this number, Neilton was stunned. He wanted to tell his parents not to read it anymore, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he had to bear it back.

Luis and Nuana also stared at the toll collector with surprised and dull expressions for a while, and then said calmly, "Can I pay part of it first, and I can pay another part later, because we only brought 2000 dollars with us. "

"Sir, ma'am, I'm sorry, we pay all at once here, and once a year."

Hearing what the toll collector said, Nuana and Louis wanted to scratch their heads. After thinking for a while, they asked again: "Then, when is the deadline for payment?"

"Sir, Ma'am, our fee payment deadline is August 25th, which is [-] days later, because the school starts on August [-]th, and the fee payment will only start today, but if you want your son to be on August [-]th You can register and enroll normally on August [-]th, and I still hope that you can register before August [-]th."

"okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome, I wish you good luck! This is your son's admission letter, please keep it safe, the school will not be responsible if you lose it or fail to enroll."

Louis took the acceptance letter, looked at his son who was bowing his head and making no sound, and then, without sighing, he felt that he would definitely find a way, so he reached out and touched Neil's head and said, "Don't worry, kid ! Your mother and I will figure it out for you."

Neil looked at his parents with thoughtful eyes and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Louis and Nuana grabbed his hand, meaning to go home and find a way, but Neil stood there quietly, feeling extremely entangled and sad.

"What's wrong with you, son?" Seeing that Neil was not moving, Louis and Nuana hurriedly looked at him and asked.

"Father, Mom, if I don't study, my family is already struggling. One year's tuition is two years' income. Such expensive tuition will not be able to afford it."

"Boy, if you continue to be like this father, mother will be angry. Now 16000 US dollars has stumped our family. How about more in the future? It's okay, there is always a way, as long as you play hard and learn hard, this point What is money?"

"Dad, Mom, I will live up to your trust, I love you, thank you!" Neil cried with emotion, hugging his parents and saying.

"We love you too, because $16000 is worth it for your dreams, please, let's go home."

Neil wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at his parents and nodded, and went home holding their hands tightly.
