The Days

  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.
