What God had made, He saw that it was good. On a Particular day during my first semester examinations as usual I was seated infront. I do that so I don't get disturbed or distracted by activities of nefarious students. Beside me was a 100level student from Sociology. I could tell because she had her departmental Polo on.
Few minutes into the exam and this lady was "giraffing" across me to her colleague sitting on my other side. After attempting some on her own my sister went into copy mode or like we call it, "let's help each other mode." All you could hear was, " babe, how far number five, tell me one answer now." Statements in that direction. This was quite annoying for me as it beat the tranquility I usually go for while sitting in front to write my exams. Regardless the human System is one that can adjust and I must say I adjusted pretty quickly.
An hour after I was still at my second question which is really risky because we are usually to answer four questions under 2hours. Most times we usually get stopped before the time. Anyways, here I am rushing to finish my second question and make the deadline and same lady sitting beside me asks me a question. Now understand that I'm studying Psychology currently in 300 level and writing an exam on Research Methods in Psychology. So there was just no correlation with my paper and hers. It was just that the question was one that required thinking as it was on functions of marriage.
This lady asked me again to answer her question for her. Mehn! By the third time, her Cup spilled over. I replied very rudely with a slight raise to my voice that she should think instead of disturbing me. I asked her, "What's the function of Marriage to you, your siblings, your society at large?" Just think, pray and think, it's not that hard. At this point I was battling finishing my 3rd question when I heard," start rounding up."
I'm sure you can imagine how pissed off I was. My handwriting went from Sleeping beauty to a Troll. Anyways, She submitted few minutes after that. In the end I was able to make my deadline.
Guess what I did after the Exam?
I went hunting for her, funny right? Now I didn't do that to shout or anything I was going to just talk to her. I believe God has given us all a Brain and whatever God made He saw that it was good. So it means our brains are good and have capacity to solve problems if we can use it. Sadly enough, I couldn't locate her but if I had I would have told her, " You have a Sound Mind and is capable of reasoning, Use it"
That's message to you today. Use your brain! It's good and has capacity to solve your problems only if you can make good use of it. Sometimes the solution is not in your friends words but in simply taking the time to think. You are as strong as you use your brain.
Have a blessed day!
