It all begins about
five years ago when I just got accepted at the T.A.M.C.C it was the best thing that could of ever
happen to me, going to the city everyday ,seeing new faces as I walked the sidewalks
,even making small chats with total strangers because, I am that type of person.
But the bigger thing yet to come was school itself, oh my getting a grade point
average of over two wasn't much of a challenge but it still took determination
and hard work, while others choose to sit under the green bench and be involved
in entertaining activities, just a few sat in the library reading books or
working in groups trying to complete their assessment for the
next class to come.
These years were something boy, “yes it was nothing but amazing” .From getting a five buck for school to getting double that, from wearing uniform to
getting into something a little more comfortable , like jeans and tight fitted tops or T-Shirt
and saggy jeans or even a leaning pants.
My I use to enjoy getting myself ready for school ,and on that note yes getting
ready for school was like a traditional
thing. Waking up early in the
morning making my own breakfast because,
mama was still asleep ,bathing dressing
packing bags for school , lie!. I never use to pack my bag every morning . Simply because I used the same books everyday and so I never have to
unpack for the next school day a matter
a fact ,I always did all of my home work at the library at school and so never had
a chance of going in my bag when I
get home ,but that’s cool I was just one
of the students that use the library let’s
say majority of the time every break or
minute I got.
Hmm College oh
how I miss those days. Now in this real world is a big skip for me, from being
fed to finding my own. From being cool under the AC in the library and classrooms, to working hard
in the sun wiping sweat from my forehead every minute of the day ,or I should say at least a few
times , just to provide for yourself and siblings. From having a
nice and respectful tutor helping you daily with your assignments to ragging bosses
telling you what to do, when to do ,and how to do it. Society is chaotic because you
then realized that what you've been learning in school for all these years doesn't really apply in dealing with your bosses attitude and oh ,the grumpy employees around you ,patiently waiting for you to do something wrong to report you to higher authorities , it’s something much more than stretching your hands to your parents for school money. Instead we have to work twice as hard for what we got free years ago ,with no strings attach.
The truth of the
matter is life is full of surprises; we have to expect the unexpected, creating
our own opportunities .The Government cannot provide everyone with jobs although
they are one of the biggest employer on island. Be grateful
for what you have , contentment is the key for today’s success story, and don’t you
forget the main thing thank God daily for what you have what you had and what
you want happen in your future.
