The TROTRO XpeRienCe

 


There was this day I took the trotro to some place. I have forgotten where exactly I was going. Well 'trotro' is a bus we take to any place of your choice when you are low on cash or you are on a budget or you just want to have a feel of it.

This very day I was sitting next to the mate. A mate is someone the collects the money in the trotro and calls out places the trotro is going to alert people.

I couldn't stand the odour oozing out of the mate's body. It was so bad. I had to hold my nose the whole time. Sometimes I wonder if these mates do not take their bath before they start their early morning routine. Spraying your body with perfume will even make it worse; that is what some of them do even the driver.

Personal hygiene is very important it can make or break you. Taking care of yourself is very important especially your personal hygiene. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and bathing at least twice a day, using a deodorant after a shower are basic things one can do for him/herself.

You should never forget these things. You having a body odour can make you loose your job or your date. You can even loose friends or people wouldn't want to associate with you. 

This mate that was suffocating me with his smell, I don't know how he would have felt if I told him he was smelling or I told him he needed a bath. Hmmm....Come to think of it what would you have done if you were in my situation?




Always remember " First impressions matter and please make your personal hygiene a priority"

The form One XpeRienCe (Senior High) Part 2

  I was told the prep was going to be held at the dining hall since we haven't been given classes yet. I joined a batch of girls at the table and I opened a book to read. Some girls were just talking about what they did after they graduated from Junior high school and some were talking about trending things going on. I was just tired to even talk to anyone by the time I realized I was fast asleep. I don't know how fast the time went. After a while, I heard the siren and that immediately told me prep was over. I took my book and headed for the dormitory but first house prayers were made before we were allowed to enter into our dorms. I got in so exhausted. Immediately, I started packing my things because I didn't want to wait for tomorrow.  I didn't like where I was sleeping. My bed was right beside the door but hey there was nothing I could do since I came late.  Fortunately or unfortunately for me I ended up getting two school mothers; one was in form 3 and the other w...

The Form One XpeRienCe part 3

 We got down and stood infront of them. I was told to go to bed since I just came today. The seniors told them to showcase their talents right infront of them. One of them sang a Jordan Sparks song titled 'No Air', another sang a gospel song and one senior said who could sing Brick and lace song 'Love is wicked'. At the time, that song was reigning and was the ish. They were just standing there, no one came forward. I was just lying on my bed and I was singing that song. I didn't know they were listening because I thought I wasn't that loud so when I stopped I realized the place was super quiet. The next thing I heard was 'form one girl get down' . I got up from my bed and stood infront of them then I was asked to sing the song I was singing. I did when I was done, I was asked to go back to bed and that was it. The next day was Saturday and I didn't know what to expect. I got to the bathroom to take my bath and I realized that the bathroom was an ope...

Stephanie instructed Kelly to take care of the shop and she drove off to the hospital immediately. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford were waiting for their flight. Back to the hospital, The nurses took Dallas to one of the ward to be treated. She went to the cashier to pay the hospital bills and waited in the lobby to hear what the doctor had to say.

Adel said  Adel went to her desk and began working on a job she was taking care of yesterday. Maurice on the other hand made sure his presentation was perfect. "Nothing should go wrong" Maurice thought "Stephanie!" the doctor c...
