First of all, I am really sorry I have not blogged for over a week. Sometimes, school gets so crazy that I almost forget to do things that really matter to me. I hope your weekend was better than mine? It is not like mine sucked but nothing exciting happened like that if you feel me. I remember the day I got this jewelry box because it totally brightened up my day. It was that day I found out that my 2nd and final monthly installment plan for my school fees was due in two weeks rather than in two months. I had just finished paying the 1st installment only a week ago so I knew this was going to be a rather impossible task for my mom. I was really upset and worried about my mom because my school fees had doubled because I changed school I lost my scholarship. I was literally trying to fight the tears from pouring down so I decided that if I took a long nap it would go away just for the moment. As I walked into my building, I could see a green slip in my mailbox, which usually indicated I had a package. I was contemplating whether to pick it up now or later but I finally decided to get it. When I got to my room, I opened the package and saw this jewelry box. I do not know whether it was the fact that is customized for me or the words or from who it came from but, this jewelry box kept me going and believing that everything will be alright. The fact that someone believed in me and cared was enough reason for me to keep believing in myself. Many times, people do not realize how much their words can give you hope. There have been many days that I have struggled but was able to survive and keep going because of someone's words. One day try telling your friends what you really like about them and you will find that in some weird way it would bring you joy to know that you just put a smile on someone's face. I know this is going to sound rather strange but, there some days when I get on facebook and read people's status and I notice their status is saying something about them been down, I immediately find myself sending them a message of encouragement so that they know that someone cares and they are not alone. It is really funny how far someone's encouragement and support can go even if it is just words. The funny part is that I do not think he ever knew how much that jewelry box touched my life even if it was for that moment or that day. I want to say a big thank you for giving me the courage to keep believing even when there was nothing to believe in. I also, want to thank everyone that has given me hope in one way or the other I hope that I can one day do the same for you one of these days. T he coolest thing about my jewelry box is that it has Mbang (which is the name that my mom and I share) written on it. People do not know it is the little things that count but I am glad that I know and somehow I am going to always try and make it count...xoxo
Daddy's little girl (Mbang) Lol.
