Unexpected things..

We were dressed and ready to take a flight out for my mother’s special birthday party in Hawaii. It was a two hour flight to her. My boyfriend who is Edward Cullen thought that now its 1 pm, we have to be at the airport at least by 2 pm and he quoted that my mom is not getting younger so we should hurry. We turned on a night light, turned the house answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. The cat we put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn’t want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird. We had provided ample food for it to last weekend.
I go out to the taxi, while my boyfriend went inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with him in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, I don’t want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the weekend. So, I explain to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to his mother.”
A few minutes later, my boyfriend get in the cab “Sorry I took so long,” my boyfriend said, as we drove away. “That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by neck. Then, I had to wrap her in blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked!  I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!”
The cab driver hearing this looks in the rear view mirror in astonishment. I was afraid that he might call a police.
When we arrived in the airport, my boyfriend was looking for his passport and visa, he misplaced it. He remembered that he left his passport and visa in the table when he was preparing his things.
He told me that I will be the one who will go first and he promised that he will just follow. I had no choice but to obey him.
Few minutes left the airplane will depart. Suddenly, there was a guy who touches my back when I entered the plane and when I looked at the person. There he was my boyfriend. The visa and passport was not left, he putted it in his other bag.
As I sat on the plane looking over the ocean of blue, I stretched my neck as far as I could, considering the plane windows only allow for a certain amount of stretching, I tried to see the Island of Hawaii, something I had waited 8 years to see again.
At one point I was not able to see the island, but instead I was mesmerized with the ocean of blue. It was so blue it was almost purple, and as clear as a perfectly washed glass, as I could actually see the rocks on the bottom of the ocean from the plane.
It was a sight I will never forget, I knew the water was perfect, however, I never thought I could see the bottom of the ocean from high in the air.
When the plane landed I was one of the first ones off, and the first thing I remembered as I held up the line coming off of the plane, was inhaling as deep as I could!
The air smelled of flowers, a sweet, clean smell of flowers, almost like in a funeral home, but with a happier energy to it.
I continued to enjoy the smell of paradise as I went to the baggage claim to claim my luggage.
And we ride a cab to go to my mother’s house.

Best Motivational video


" My pain motivates me; my failures are my pillars of success."                                                 Nnenna Chidimma

I came across a video which really blew me away therefore wanted to share with you all. :)





Now, you have seen this video, what do you feel?
Me, I got teary eyed after watching this video. I was inspired by this man's message, his spirit and determination. And despite his overwhelming disabilities, he let those kids know, that when compared to him, they have nothing to complain about. 


After watching this video, it made me realized that even though you don't have any more arms and the other parts of your body it doesn't mean that you should give up or lose hope. Giving up is not the answer to your problem. There are a lot of solutions to your problem, as what the saying goes "If there is a problem there is always a solution". It is in the bible that everything has a purpose. One of the pastors in the religion "Born Again" says that everything that will happen to you even though it is good or bad, you should thank God because it has a purpose. The man in the video really inspired me a lot I may not know what is really the reason why the other parts of his body was gone but I really salute him because if others will be in his situation for sure he will easily give up. The main message of this video is life is full of problems, when you fall you should learn how to get up. You should try and try. There is no harm in trying.  You should never give up in life. Life is given only once and you have no time to waste it. We should not waste what God had given onto us. 


As a student, I don't know how to become an inspiration to other people because honestly I think I don't have yet the  things to be proud of to other people.  But one thing I can do  is to trust in God and have a strong faith in Him. His the number one that's why I'm inspired with my work and His the one whom I can run to when I have a problem. I may not see him but I can feel Him. I can also inspire others by  studying hard so that I can finish my studies and help my family specially in financial problem. That's the only thing I can do for now.

Writing Definition

Discipline
In its original sense, discipline is referred to systematic instruction given to disciples to train them as students in a craft or trade, or to follow a particular code of conduct or "order". Often, the phrase "to discipline" carries a negative connotation. This is because enforcement of order – that is, ensuring instructions are carried out – is often regulated through punishment.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline)


 In addition, discipline is important to one person. Through discipline you can control yourself. If you think you are fat then you can have a diet. If you don't have self-discipline, you cannot control yourself or you cannot reach your goal. Discipline is also a training to us that corrects, molds, or perfects the moral character. It molds us to become a better person. Discipline can be seen in many things and it is needed to one's life.


Accountability
Accountability is the concept in ethics and governance with several meanings. It is often used synonymously with such concepts as responsibility, answerability, blameworthiness, liability, and other terms associated with the expectation of account-giving. As an aspect of governance, it has been central to discussions related to problems in the public sectornonprofit and private (corporate) worlds. In leadership roles, accountability is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, products, decisions, and policies including the administration, governance, and implementation within the scope of the role or employment position and encompassing the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accountability)


 To put it another way, accountability is the responsibility of one person.  It is an obligation of an individual or organization to account for its activities, accept responsibility for them, and to disclose the results in a transparent manner. Every person has its own responsibility and you are obliged to do that. For me, as a student my responsibility is to study and to graduate. And I have other more responsibility than that like in our house and etc. and it also the obligation to bear the consequences for failure to perform as expected.


Maturity
Maturity is a psychological term used to indicate how a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive, and is not determined by one's age. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act appropriately, according to the situation and the culture of the society one lives in.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maturity_(psychological)


 In other words, maturity refers to a full development of a person. It  is a state of mind and has nothing to do with age. Based on my experience, I have seen many grownups who think childishly and I've also seen many youngsters who think very old. Our age is not controlling us when we will get mature; it depends to the person who can cope with any form of change or alteration from the norm in life experiences.
