EVERYTIME

If I were to answer the question raised by Baldwin to Miss Raj, this is what I am going to say: Thank you for that wonderful question sir. Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Good evening Las Vegas! You know what sir, in my 22 years of existence I cannot figure out a very big mistake I’ve done. I am confident with the love my family gives me. But if hopelessness is a great mistake, I must say I felt it because I grew up impoverished. Hopelessness is when we don’t have strong faith in God. And it is through faith which could best explain why I am here. Thank you…

I am hungry reader – in more ways than one. I gobbled up stories and never had my fill. At the same time (while I am reading), I wanted a real taste of whatever food the people in the stories were eating. In time (just recently), I lost the habit of eating what I read about, but never my hunger for reading. I think the stories we love when we were kids stay with us, somewhere in our hearts, to feed our imaginations. We never outgrow our need for them, anymore than we outgrow our need for food. But to me, the books I love are better than a feast.

This was my written exam when I was screened at MSU-Buug this school year. The question was: If you were given the chance to handle subjects in the college, would you be willing to render service as a faculty with or without compensation? Explain comprehensively. And I answered: "I would be very grateful if ever I will be given a chance to handle some subjects. Teaching has become part of me. Compensation is the last thing I am going to think about. The most important thing is that I can contribute to the success of the students. My efforts in my graduate and undergraduate course will be put to waste if I cannot share it to the students who need the knowledge I have learned. Through teaching, I can fulfill my passion of touching lives. I can be of great help to others, while I am giving /providing myself the chance to improve, to grow and to develop as a better person." Owwwsss? Don’t I deserve a clap clap?
