Its been 1 1/2 half years here and to me this campus life here is my second home. My friends here are my second family. I'm sure all of us students out there who are far from home will think the same. We have grown found of 1 and another. There are many sweet memories which we have gathered during this short period of time. I remember the first time i came here. It was horrible. I hated this place. All i thought was to leave everything here and run home to my family. Being a person who finds it hard to make new friends, this place was HELL. Furthermore, being the minority here made it all the worst. I was a lone ranger. For the first semester, i did not mingle well with any of my classmates except for 1 who became my close friend here. While others were enjoying themselves, I was cursing myself for being such a quiet person, for not being able to mix with everyone. As the days past, before i knew it, it was the end of the semester. How relieved i was to go back home, for a long break from HELL.
I didn't fell like coming back, but the fact that i wanted to be a teacher pushed me. I prayed very hard that this semester would be different than the first. I wanted to savour the life of a student and not of a lone ranger. I'm so thankful to GOD for answering my pray. That 2nd semester was different. My friendship with my classmates grew stronger and I had been able to loosen up those strings that held me from mingling. Things were looking alot different during my 3rd semester. By this time, I was able to call my classmates my second family. This teacher training institute was a second home to me. I didn't fell like i was in hell anymore. The bond between us grew all the more stronger.
However, at times this bound can be shaken under certain circumstances. We may get angry or upset with one another. We do back bite and hold grudges with one another. I don't deny the fact that everything out there is a bed of roses. We do have our differences and misunderstandings with one another. Even in our own families, we do argue with one another,but we patch thing up as they are our loved ones. It's the same here as well, we have to try to overcome those pitfalls. We have to make the best of our time together.
I was not gifted the pleasure of having good friends during my primary and secondary school years, however GOD has paid me back with blessing me with good friends here and i hope it stays. But during this past 1 1/2 years here, i have learnt something very valuable, that during my weakest moment and darkest hour, my one and only true, best, loyal, kind and loving friend which was with me was GOD. I could not have pull through those trying times without his help and presence. Not forgeting my mum, my very best friend in the world (of course besides GOD). She has been my pillar of strenght. There was one thing which i did not regret during my 1st semester, that is my spritual life grew stronger.I had alot of time and i spend that time in prayer. That's how i was able to go through those lonely days without ending up in the mental institiution.
All i can say is that in life we will meet a lot of friends, some will stay and some will move on, however, for me i will always have one loyal and true friend, that is my LORD, my GOD, my SAVIOUR. I know he will never leave me and will always be there by my side in good times and in bad.
