Few moments later, Joseph is seen in tears as they lost the game and his two friends are no where to be found. His teacher enters and sees him in this state. She approaches him.
Teacher: Joseph why are you crying?
Joseph: (sobbing) My school fees. My mother will kill me. O God.
Teacher: Joseph, it's me talk to me.
Joseph briefly narrates the story for her and she is shocked
Teacher: Open your bible to 1 Peter 2:9 and read. (Joseph opens and read) Good now Listen to me. You are a child of Destiny and not a destitute, a Christian teenager. You are a light that shines in the darkness. A city set on a hill that cannot be hid. You were meant to show them the light and not let them quench yours. You were meant to stand out and not stoop low for them. You are a genius ordained a prophet to the nation. A royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar person. (They said the last sentence together) So rise and take charge be who you are.
Joseph: Yes ma.
Teacher: who are you?
Joseph: I am a child of Destiny.
(They chant it three times again)
Teacher: Now go and show the world who you are.
Joseph: Yes ma. But ma the school fees?
Teacher: Don't worry about that.
Joseph: Thank you ma.
He sings I am born to win in life as they go off stage.
