GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
Beauty in everything. Today I had this interview for the IT department in a school in Singapore, It's called Singapore Polytechnic.
Just as soon as I arrived, I started to feel really good, the environment just feels so good. It feels good to see young people, some playing soccer, some playing basketball, some just sitting there and talking to their friends, laughing, tables, cafeteria, nature. It's beautiful, it takes me back to memories of my school. We should have been more thankful that we were able to go to good schools, colleges and universities. I could only hear stories of lots and lots of people that needed to work to support themselves to school. I am humbled and I am blessed that my parents did everything for me. It makes me more thankful and appreciative of education knowing it is in exchange to hardwork and sacrifices. The best we could do is to study hard and do our best, study to excel not just to pass, doing our best to exceed expectations, not just delivering what is required. If I could speak to the younger generation, I would tell them to take care of their education as well as to be thankful, be grateful that they could study. As much as you could, experience life while in school, make good friends, befriend your teachers, join clubs but don't neglect academics, indulge in sports and be happy! One day, when you are older, one day when you age like me, you will look back and smile at the best things life has offered while we were in school. My eyes are welling up in tears as I wrote it down. I always look back at highschool and it was super fun! The best years in Highschool. Elementary and preschool years was fun! Start of college was super fun, until I met someone who influenced me a lot and made me & my college life a nightmare. Like I always tell myself, Do not awaken love when it is not the right time, love when not taken cared very well could ruin you too. By and by, I am trying to recall sweet memories of youthfulness while in college. I choose to remember the good happy days, which I think was only the first year and then the rest of the years before I became a Christian, was a complete havoc. I never try to avoid writing about it. My college memories ended up limited, like if it was in a movie, you only have the start; happy, great friends, dorm mates, great grades and then the rest, became trash and worthless piece of information, waste of film. I had to witness things from the life of another person that I could not even think I could speak of as he became drowned by drugs, alcoholism, weed, cigarettes, selling drugs, fraternities, heavy pornography. To the extreme that his friends come by and they do drugs while watching porn, he would ask me to stay in bathroom, pass me a book to read and stay there for hours until he and his friends are done. I watched him and his friends prepare, setup, burn crystal meth in a foil and sniff it all to satisfy their soul. He was just crazy about it, too dependent, he wouldn't even sleep, he just play his guitar the whole night and wouldn't even realize his fingers are bleeding. As a non drug user, memories will always stay in my head, which such information, I was too young to even understand, my mind is too young to comprehend their need for drugs and alcohol. It still gives me the creeps when I see those now in the movies, it feels like dementors trying to run after you. All I know, is I had to get myself out of the situation before I lose my own self and soul to mental illness. I found God and God picked me up from that mess, God picked me up in 2001 and left everything from there. Now back to where I am today, I sat by the cafeteria outside the school where kids are reading, listening to music. I sat and cried my heart out, I prayed these kids heart will be protected, to love their education and not put it to waste. I prayed for them to respect their parents hard earned Money, as they worked hard to send them to school. I left the school, my heart is lighter, there is always HOPE. We start with the people close to us, influence the younger generation, start with your own family, brothers, sisters, cousins. Let the young generation learn from us. Never too late. |
