Lessons from Roommates

Do you remember your first roommate? What do you remember about them the most? I remember a couple of mine and I can list what I fondly remember about them:

• Tidiness
• Transparency
• Friendliness
• Punctuality
• Ambition
• Positivity
• Sense of humour
• Encourager

 Soooo I realized that I forgot some of my roommates from high school so I will have to let it go. Nevertheless, some of the people that I've stayed with for extended periods have broadened my perspective on life through the things that they did or did not do. Our lives are truly indeed letters to be read.

The Fear of Education

Why don't you want to go to college? What made you think you can't do it? What is the worst case scenario if you go get an undergraduate degree, graduate degree or doctorate? You just have to be brave. You will never know what you are capable of academically unless you take a step of faith.

Challenges in Education

Education can open your eyes in ways that you never imagined. So why is the education system of some places structured in a way that students merely memorize to get by? And if you ask them in a week or year about something they know nothing. So how in the world can true learning be achieved? Since true learning should go hand in hand with a healthy sense of memory.

The Ways Memories Influence Us

We sometimes only remember what we choose to remember. Some memories are out of our control while others are in our control. A storehouse of negative memories won't do you any good consciously, unconsciously, or sub-consciously. Make it your goal to fill your mind with positive memories that will remind you all of the good in the world and inspire you to do more.

To All the Classmates I've Ever Had

I may remember some of you. While sadly enough, some of you are not in my head. What made some of you remain edged in my memory even after many years? Why did I always think we would be together at-least sub-consciously? All I wonder is when will I see one or all of you ever again. And, if we don't ever meet thanks for being in my life even for a minute.

Memories from the 90s

Are you a 90s child? Did you grow up watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Power Rangers, Family Matters, and more. Oh and did you like Michael Jackson? Oh yeah its already been the end of an era and there will never be a time like the 90s. Don't throw away all your 90s stuff...jot them down or store them because one day they will be gone...An ode to the 90s.

Cherishing the Present and the Past

There are people from our past who if we listen to very carefully can help to shape our future. Sometimes we ignore certain people and view them as negligible aspects of our human experience. We are denying ourselves of life as we should cherish each and everyone from our present and past in different ways in order to grow.
