A year ago, at seven, I was getting ready for my class, eating breakfast, taking a bath, organizing
my things, and packing my bag. I was the last one to leave our boarding house since the first class for my
roommates was at 7. My books, mobile phone, documents and other school supplies such as papers, ball
pen, etc. were with me. It unexpectedly rained hard as I was about to go outside. I was so upset because I
recalled that the day before, one of my roommates had borrowed my umbrella. As time passed, my
irritation started to grow, I was running late for my class, I had no umbrella, I wore my all-white uniform,
and there were no pedicabs or other means of transportation passing by my boarding house. I was afraid
of being late and afraid of making my books and uniform dirty and wet at the same time. Then all of a
sudden, my landlord, who owned a pedicab, said he was going to the market and he could drop me off for
school. Thankfully, I went to school dry, clean and early for my class.
