In the midst of a dark, thundered and secluded area, there stood a candle which was about to lose its vague light leaving a little gal cramming to read every dot in her marred, old and small book.
Let’s just call her MAERYL.
Wherever she was, no matter what happened, life for this geek child would never stop revolving within any literary stuff. Yes, definitely she is a bookworm person. Many times she was reprimanded by her austere parents for according to them, what she's doing only brings egotism and supinement. Yet, she kept inside the aim which we could say, has nothing left for herself. She defined everything through one simple word- family.
Most of her life have been dedicated for her family and how to please them in the way they want. maybe, her parents castigate her because she almost forgot to take care of herself and been soaked too much in school but not for the reason that she desired to be uplifted rather see her parents painted with smile and contentment.
This little lady (until now) drops in house with an assurance that she has something to present to her parents. However, moment came that her dad got disappointed with a four-mistake examination. She almost devoured her world with a big failure. Maeryl ran to the corner where she used to be alone before but no matter how she tried to find compassion and sympathy from her books, her emotions started to look at those as "rigid peak of triumph". That’s the time that this never-been-rascal sweetheart created a change in a way that people would see her not just a bright school topnatcher but as an ordinary campus girl. She was able to realize that the point of success couldn't be achieved by merely focusing on the core asset. She has to undergo processes that a mediocre student does in order for her to attain the best trophy among all.
If you know this damsel, you might say that it's pretty impossible to see her dressed in fit, sexy sleeveless tank top and figured-mini skirt with untied shiny hair. It’s also so seldom to cross with her talking to someone or getting along with others. People only knew that she's strict and peevish student teacher having only one bestie. But, one good thing about her is she assures that her chum would be pampered and loved truly and sincerely.
With all of those, she decided to conform to what her heart talks. She wanted to be like others, free to express oneself. Triggered by constant change, she begun to get some bonding with jolly pupils and was able to absorb in such a nice and godly way. She learned the value of giving especially the sharing of one's ability. She was also reborn by the anointment of God and is continuously striving to obey and live by His words.
It was really different when she was younger, when she was into the dark nook, being such an "emo". She is now getting lessons about relationships and beyond nevertheless balance everything (sometimes fails but learns from it). People discourage her from doing anything more vigorous, perhaps afraid that her interest in studies will be blemished, but she is determined to risk everything as long as she as faith that God supervises.
Meanwhile, she also finds bonding moments with her sisters whenever they hang-out, attend church's activities and shop together. With life in school deadly hectic and demanding, she has learned to surround herself with happy people and good friends.
For now, she is making the most of her life in and out of book matters. For a young woman still in the process of discovering herself, though, a world of possibilities awaits. Maeryl need only to claim it.
To God be the glory!
