The Form One XpeRienCe part 4

 We were at prep for an hour I think. We headed off to dining. One thing I hated about dining was the food. The food was bad. The waakye they served was like banku when it was dished out. I told the one serving that I wasn't eating after all I had something better in my locker.

After dining was siesta. Time to rest for a bit. After that the siren rang alerting us that it was over. 

I went to the bathhouse still shy but I knew I had to get used to it eventually. This wasn't easy for me. 

I got back to the dorm. Dressing up I heard my dorm mates discussing about the entertainment tonight. I just couldn't wait. I was filled with excitement.

I went for dining then after headed to the Asibey Hall. Getting closer to the place I heard loud music and I knew I was in for a surprise. I sat down and the songs been played I knew most of them so I was sitting down nodding my head to it and singing at the same time.

We were sitting down there listening to the songs and watching the music videos because they had nothing planned and they didn't want the day to go to waste.

Some were dancing, raping and just chatting the night away. 

After Entertainment, we all headed back to our various houses. When I got to the dorm, I was told I was going to sing one song I heard. I stood there for a while to think then I sang Alicia keys 'No one' and my other form One colleagues also did same. We were allowed to sleep afterwards.

During the weekend, we were told by the house mistress that we have been given a grace period. A grace period is a period where no work is done. The form One girls are not going to be working for one week. Hearing that was cool but even at that you will still feel you have already started the work.

Fetching water was never an easy business. You could literally stand there for hours and no body cares. The seniors will come with their big buckets to fetch water. the buckets could be 5 or more or less and they will make sure they fetch all that before you are allowed.

It wasn't easy. If your school mother is with you then it won't take time for you to fetch the water but if she tells you she's busy or tired then you are on your own.

After the grace period we were in for it. Wednesdays were working days after siesta and the house prefect will give you a place to work in the house. Some of them were scrubbing the floor, gardening, scrapping, sweeping, cleaning etc. It was hard. The scrapping part is what I didn't get. Why were we scrapping those blocks with stones? I just didn't understand.

Eventually I got used to the bathhouse since that was my place of work. I cleaned there every morning with some form one girls after every one had finished bathing before going to class in the morning. We were always late and the seniors always punished us to pick around the compound before entering the classroom.

RELATIONSHIPS (FUD 4 THOUGHT)

Everyone wants a fairy tale relationship  Where the story line goes like this On one bright Saturday afternoon at the mall I was just checking out some dresses when suddenly my purse fell I reached to pick it when he decided to do that for me I looked at him and it was love at first sight We started talking and it felt like we had known each other forever Shortly after we started dating This guy was just amazing He understood me and accepted my flaws  He was just my kind of man The love was deep and I loved every inch of it Years after, he popped the question   And I gladly accepted And we've lived happily ever after till now These kind of stories doesn't exist in reality Trust me....they don't In the beginning of every relationship is very lovely and sweet but getting to the middle of it, things become very sour And that is where questions start popping up in our  minds "Why is he/she doing this to me?, does he/she...

UPLIFTMENT 2

People always complain that their work is not going well People always attribute their faults to something People always think they have the most problems People always compare themselves to others People always envy others just because of what they have be it money,fame, beauty etc. But you forget that God is the maker and provider of everything He alone can make you successful Many at times we forget to just say thank you to Him. The fact that we are still alive and counted among the living, the only thing He needs from you is your praises The fact that we are not dead, we can still do more and achieve everything if only we call on to Him And make Him the ruler of our lives Just do what you have to do and leave the rest to God Almighty And He will surely deliver if only you believe in him and trust him Don't compare yourself to other people I know sometimes it is frustration but... Do you even know what they go through everyday? They may even want what you have ...

Coronavirus Pandemic

The coronavirus has been a great disservice to mankind. The world is at a standstill and many businesses are down. We are told to stay at home, social distance ourselves, no shaking hands etc. To prevent this virus from spreading and killing people. People are panicking and being worried about everything that is going on. Fear has become people's second name all because of this pandemic. God says in his word that he has not given us fear but of hope and of a sound mind. We should not ahbor fear in ourselves for the Lord that we serve is bigger than any virus, any sickness, any disease. We should have faith in the Lord and declare that this too shall pass. For His word says mourning only lasts for a night but joy cometh in the morning so we should not panic but rather be hopeful. For the Lord that we serve will surely take us out from this pandemic and we will go about our lives again. I trust that when this is over bigger things are going to come our way because I feel this ...
