You're Seen

Wow! Life can sometimes be both funny and weird.

Just last night, just as I always do, I was pondering about things. This time, I was thinking about my college life. I thought of the things that I should be thankful for. Then, it dawned on me that one of the people who helped me have self-confidence during that time was my first year English professor. Of all my classmates coming from prestigious high schools in the Metro, I was among the three students she picked to represent our section for a speech contest or performance. It may be just a little thing for some, but it's really something for me. Why? Because I was a bit insecure that time. Coming from a small town, it was really difficult to adjust and understand the "Manila girls," as they say. The way I dress was entirely different from how they did. That's why I really can't thank my teacher enough for seeing me, but I just neglect not remembering her name. That, I have to find out soon.

Anyway, I'm reading an article on Oprah's website about seven gifts from the universe that everybody gets. Actually, I'm still in the second gift. Just to give you an idea, the first one's you senselessly win. You just win. You just receive something you never thought you wanted. Great, right? I guess I haven't received that gift. Now for the second gift: You're seen. That's where my English teacher entered in the picture. She saw something in me. I'm not really sure how she did it, but she knew that I had the talent. Thank God!

What's my point for writing this? My point is life is not really unfair after all. There's always a reason to smile and to be thankful for. I hope that sticks in my mind. I pray that everyone realizes that. And again, it's just weird that everything seems to happen the way they should be. Everything is just in timing. You're wonderful, God! And yes, You are the One who never fails to see me. Thank You!
